Francisco Diaz Bretones presented a study on immigrant entrepreneurship in Andalusia, Spain. The study aims to analyze the behavioral profiles and precursors/barriers for non-EU immigrant entrepreneurs in Andalusia. Data was collected through statistical databases and qualitative interviews, questionnaires, and focus groups from 2007-2009. Variables studied include employment history, migratory history, social networking, motivations, and sociodemographics, which will be compared to a non-entrepreneurial group. Preliminary results show the number and origins of immigrant entrepreneurs in Andalusia and two cities between 1999-2003.
