Abstract

Over the last decades, several initiatives have been launched to support mi-grants engaging in entrepreneurial activities, spanning public and private actors, andcovering a variety of services targeted to different ventures and groups of migrants.The literature has increasingly paid attention to such available entrepreneurial sup-port, which goes beyond traditional help from migrants’kinship and co-ethnic net-works and communities. This chapter will provide an overview of current knowledgeon such entrepreneurial support for migrant entrepreneurs. By conducting a system-atic literature review of 69 peer-reviewed articles, we combine emerging themes andidentify theoretical and empirical gaps, forming a future research agenda. The resultsof this research provide several insights that contribute to the flow of literature onentrepreneurial support for migrant entrepreneurs, along with policy and practicerecommendations.
