The web portal provides a directory of organizations that are committed to promoting, supporting, and being active on the topic of inclusive entrepreneurship. The web portal features a directory of organizations that are dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs from underrepresented groups, including socially excluded youth and NEET (not in employment education or training). These organizations offer a range of services, including mentorship, networking opportunities, funding, and training programs, to help socially excluded and NEET youth by using entrepreneurship as a tool for social inclusion. The web portal that provides a directory of organizations committed to inclusive entrepreneurship can be a valuable resource for anyone looking to learn more about inclusive entrepreneurship and connect with organizations that are working to make a positive impact in this field.
The web portal is therefore inclusive-entrepreneurship.org is a valuable resource for NGOs and other organizations that provide inclusive entrepreneurship opportunities for young people. The mission of the web portal is to make it easy for these organizations to connect and collaborate in order to empower socially excluded youth through inclusive entrepreneurship.
Inclusive entrepreneurship is an approach that prioritizes the needs and potential of marginalized groups, such as NEET youth, youth from low-income backgrounds, or those with disabilities, etc. By providing these young people with the resources and support they need to start and grow their own businesses, we can help them break the cycle of poverty and achieve greater economic and social inclusion.
There are many skilled people and organizations out there who can make a real difference in the lives of socially excluded youth through inclusive entrepreneurship. However, it can be difficult for these organizations to find each other and collaborate on new projects. That’s why we created the web portal inclusive-entrepreneurship.org – to make it easy for these organizations to connect and collaborate in order to make a bigger impact.
Web portal inclusive-entrepreneurship.org is the outcome of the project Interception, financed from the Erasmus+ program Capacity building in the field of youth.

What is inclusive entrepreneurship?
Inclusive entrepreneurship holds the potential for strengthening social inclusion by offering another option for earning income and contributing to society. This potential will not be realized until everyone has an opportunity to start a business and be successful in self-employment.
The objective of inclusive entrepreneurship policies is to increase awareness about the potential that self-employment as a labor market activity and to build motivations to pursue it, as well as seeking to address market , institutional (e.g. poorly adapted regulatory environments), and behavior failures (e.g. excessive fear of failure) that disproportionately affect people in under-represented and disadvantaged groups. Inclusive entrepreneurship policies typically target groups that are under-represented in or face greater barriers to, business creation, i.e. women, youth, the unemployed, seniors, and migrants.
Addressing these barriers with initiatives such as entrepreneurship training, coaching and mentoring, microfinance are expected to lead to an increase in business creation by these groups. It would also improve the quality of the start-ups so that they are more sustainable and innovative.
