Comprehensive pathway for refugee and migrant women to turn their ideas into functioning businesses
24 November 2025
The Estonian pilot of the BSI_4Women project, implemented by Tehnopol Startup Incubator, offered a comprehensive pathway for refugee and migrant women to turn their ideas into functioning businesses. It combined targeted outreach, a short pre-incubation course, a six-month incubation phase, and post-incubation mentoring and workshops. The activities, running from August 2024 to June 2025, provided multilingual resources, personalised mentoring, practical workshops, and opportunities to present ideas publicly. Five participants joined the full incubation track, four successfully completed it, and two continued into post-incubation support.
