Migrant Entrepreneurship

Breaking Barriers, Creating Opportunities

At iGen, we value the untapped potential of overseas-born individuals in Australia. Migrants often face employment barriers, receiving minimum wage and entry-level roles despite their qualifications and skills.

​

Post-settlement paths for migrants parallel those of young people, with challenges in education, employment, and training. We believe entrepreneurship is a solution, offering migrants the chance to create employment without qualification or language barriers.

​

In 2018, iGen and Enterprising Partnerships launched the Cultov8 Pre-Accelerator Program, supporting 300 first-generation Australians. In 2021, our Keeping it in the Family Program, a first in Australia, catered to migrant families in multiple languages, engaging over 60 participants.

Join us in fostering Migrant Entrepreneurship.

iGen Foundation operates on Boon Wurrung and Woiwurrung country. We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation as the traditional custodians of the Melbourne region and pay our respects to elders past and present and future leaders. 

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the original practitioners of innovation and business in this nation and we have much to learn from their past practices and vision for Australia's future. 

We are committed to contributing to a positive future for Australia's Indigenous communities.
