Opportunities & Challenges of Migrant Entrepreneurs

Venture Beyond Borders: Opportunities & Challenges of Migrant Entrepreneurs in collaboration with RMIT College of Business and Law, join us as they unpack a panel discussion about being a migrant entrepreneur.

Migrants and refugees engaged in entrepreneurial activities in Australia face insurmountable challenges including low social capital, lack of opportunities for networking, limited financial and digital literacy, and language problems to equally compete in the market with their host country counterparts.

To explore how the migrant and refugee community in Australia can optimize their experience and skills to take on entrepreneurial opportunities, they are hosting a panel discussion with migrant entrepreneurs and experts in this area.

The event has been initiated as an extension of a research project by RMIT academics Associate Professor Afreen Huq and Dr. Ashenafi Biru. This panel discussion and meetup are facilitated by Eugenia Yuan, Community & Partnerships Manager at RMIT Activator and funded by RMIT Global Business Innovation Enabling Capability Platform.

Panel speakers are:

• Dr. Afreen Huq, Associate Professor, Entrepreneurship, RMIT University
• Sakshi Thakur, Entrepreneur In Residence at Catalysr, Founder of Humanism Global
• Roberto Daniele, Senior Programmer @ StartSpace , Founder & Director @ Changemakers’ Lab
• Shoaib Iqbal, Founder & CEO at Esper Satellites
