Abstract
Free movement of people in the current world has led to a situation where countries as well as regions are fighting for the attention of the most talented and skilled migrants. In order to provide the most favourable conditions, inclusive and supportive policies are introduced. Current paper is elaborating on the support policies and available systems for international entrepreneurs in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area. Case study on the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area is chosen to understand the opinions of migrant entrepreneurs in this specific region in order to be able to make conclusions how to better the support service provision.
The results of the study showed that the entrepreneurs often have personal factors, like family members, which influence their location decision, however also the attractiveness of the destination region is valued. The start of self-employment is characterised mainly by the individual motivation to achieve goals. Entrepreneurs see their companies’ future in the AMA as the region is attractive for business establishment. Study showed that there are quite large amount of available public support resources in the region, however, the problem is in the awareness of entrepreneurs and the methods how this support and knowledge is provided to the starting business owners.
