Building an Inclusive Entrepreneurial Ecosystem

This proposal has the potential to effect transformational change in inclusive entrepreneurship across the UK. By mobilising new partnerships with ‘Be the Business’ and ‘Inclusive Entrepreneurship N’I, and developing existing partnerships with NatWest and West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), we will implement initiatives reaching thousands of ethnic minority entrepreneurs nationwide. We aim to pilot new approaches to business support, reshape local/national ecosystems to be more inclusive, and embed recommendations from CREME’s research Time to Change report into policy and practice. This proposal represents a unique opportunity to unlock the potential of ethnic minority entrepreneurs to contribute fully to the UK economy.
