Immigrant Entrepreneurship post Brexit

In the wake of the Windrush Scandal and ongoing uncertainty around immigration post Brexit, it is a good time to have an open constructive dialogue on immigration.
Churchill Fellow 2017-18, Kajal Sanghrajka was awarded a grant to study immigrant entrepreneurship across Europe and North America and answer the question: How do cities attract and integrate immigrant entrepreneurs? After hundreds of conversations with entrepreneurs, policymakers, investors and pioneers supporting entrepreneurship, this talk is a culmination of her findings across 9 cities.
The presentation will focus on emerging innovative models and best practices to continue to attract the best and brightest global entrepreneurs post Brexit. Also hear from a panel of entrepreneurs on how the current UK immigration climate is impacting their businesses with some constructive solutions. 
The talk and panel will be followed by a drinks reception.
