Migrant entrepreneurship with Roxana Nicula

What happens when migrants don’t just adapt to their new home, but transform it? What drives them to start businesses despite facing more obstacles than locals, and why are their ventures often more successful? And how can smart policies unlock this untapped potential?

In this episode of the Liberal Europe Podcast, Ricardo Silvestre (Movimento Liberal Social) speaks with Roxana Nicula, Chair of the Foundation for the Advancement of Liberty (Fundalib) and co-author of Migrant Entrepreneurship in Spain, produced with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation. They discuss the data and stories behind immigrant entrepreneurship, the barriers that still hold back aspiring business owners, and practical policy solutions to help them thrive.
