"Innovation, Immigration and Entrepreneurship: Perspectives for urban Renewal and local Economy"
Final local Seminar on 26 January 2007 in Hamburg at TuTech Innovation GmbH

The aim of this local seminar is to explore the combination of innovation, migration and entrepreneurship as an impetus for urban development and the local economy. The seminar will present LNet findings to the Hamburg audience.
For the successful development of Hamburg's urban areas, local economic regeneration is of great importance. In Hamburg, where 30% of the inhabitants have a migrant background and the urban
development strategies focus on growth and internationalisation, the economic integration of migrants plays an important role.
Opportunities for and barriers to migrant entrepreneurship will be identified and discussed and successful case studies and new promising approaches will be presented focussing on the following themes: job creation, vocational training, promotion of start-ups and inward investment.

Moreover, the LNet online toolkit will be presented to the Hamburg audience.
