Diversity Undertaking Tilburg

In general it appears that whilst many people of minority background turn to small business as a the most viable form of employment, few have progressed out of specific ‘ethnic economies’ to become major players in the economy as a whole. In Tilburg, two entrepreneur clubs are active in the field of diversity: DOT (Diversity Undertaking Tilburg), and TOT (Turkish Entrepreneurs Tilburg). Especially DOT is stimulated by the local government. It pays also special attention to the new and young migrant entrepreneurs (often women). In a special project new migrant entrepreneurs are combined with a Dutch experienced and skilled entrepreneur in Tilburg. Unfortunately the number of matches between Dutch and migrant entrepreneurs is still too low.
