Culture of parents’ country of origin influences second-generation immigrant entrepreneurship
New study shows that second-generation immigrants’ likelihood to become entrepreneurs is linked to their parents’ cultural background. The results suggest that entrepreneurship policies and programmes could benefit from taking cultural context into account.

Semper Ardens Advance grant from the Carlsberg Foundation awarded to CBS team led by José Mata
This project seeks to understand what motivates, enables and hinders successful entrepreneurship by women and immigrants at different stages of the life cycle of firms.
This is important because on the one hand, women are underrepresented in entrepreneurship, even in countries where they are highly represented on the labour markets. On the other hand, immigrants are typically highly represented in entrepreneurship, but in many countries their ventures tend to be less impactful than those of natives. The project will identify the forces that constrain entrepreneurship by women and immigrants at different stages of the life cycle of firms and the results will help find actions to alleviate these constraints at the public policy and company strategy levels. Such actions will promote innovation, foster inclusive labour markets and empower women and immigrants to unlock their full economic potential to create societal value.
The project will be carried on by a team of researchers from the Department of Strategy and Innovation which includes Orsola Garofalo, Emma Lappi, Johannes Kleinhempel, José Mata, Ali Mohammadi, Pedro Oliveira, Vera Rocha, and Valentina Tartari.
The aim of the Semper Ardens Advance grants is to create groundbreaking scientific results to ensure a leading position for Denmark in international top research and contribute to solving the grand challenges facing the world.
