LIVING THE DREAM? The Odyssey of a Migrant Entrepreneur

The entrepreneurial dream – who is it for?  Do you have to be an innovative and successful entrepreneur to be welcome in Switzerland?

Luisa, a Colombian fashion designer based in Zurich, reflects on these questions. Through her experiences and encounters, she raises awareness of the obstacles along the entrepreneurial path and challenges simplistic success stories.

This scientific comic is the result of a research project entitled Migrant Entrepreneurship: Mapping Cross-Border Mobilities and Exploring the Role of Spatial Mobility Capital, based at the Geography Institute of the University of Neuchâtel and part of the nccr – on the move. The research team collaborated with the urbanist and illustrator Jean Leveugle, from the studio Savoirs Ambulants.

The comic is available in French, English and German.
