The programme will focus on sourcing entrepreneurs from Sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, and the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>Startups tackling the positive benefits of migration and reducing the vulnerability of migrants, social-driven businesses alleviating the pressure of populations along migration routes, and entrepreneurs proposing products and services targeting migrants directly are invited to apply.
