Belfast City Council and The Mind Tribe UK would like to invite you to take part in important Stakeholder Consultation Events and a Digital Survey, focused on improving enterprise and business support for Newcomer Communities in Belfast, including refugees, individuals seeking asylum, and migrant communities.
Your organisation plays a key role in shaping the enterprise landscape, and your insights will be invaluable in identifying challenges, gaps, and opportunities to create a more inclusive and accessible support system for newcomers.
Belfast City Council has identified the need for intentional measures to improve newcomer engagement with enterprise services. This project builds on existing support structures while addressing the disconnect between social integration services and business development initiatives. By fostering collaboration between enterprise support organisations, community groups and social integration initiatives, we aim to create a more inclusive and sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem.
