在2015年所谓的“难民危机”之后的几年里，为促进难民和寻求庇护者的社会和经济融入做出了前所未有的努力。创业一直被称赞为实现难民自力更生的一条有前途的途径，但在德国等发达经济体，创业的可行性仍有争议，研究不足。关于这一主题的有限文献表明，创业是实现自给自足的有用途径，尽管难民比其他移民创业者面临更多障碍，如语言障碍和官僚程序。本文采用对难民企业家、民间社会、社会企业和公共部门的半结构化采访，以确定难民企业家面临的主要挑战，并考察创业是否能有效地在创建支持难民包容性的创新项目的最重要中心之一实现自力更生。创业，即柏林。虽然现在证明创业是否具有长期的经济收益还为时过早，但这项研究表明，创业并不是经济自立的“快车道”，但对社会包容有几个好处。它还表明了对难民企业家的全面支持系统的重要性，以及即使在最发达的经济体中，难民企业家也很难取得成功。
The years following the so-called ‘refugee crisis’ of 2015 saw unprecedented efforts to promote the social and economic inclusion of refugees and asylum seekers. Entrepreneurship has been praised as a promising route to refugee self-reliance, but its viability remains contested and under-researched in developed economies such as Germany. Limited literature on the topic suggests entrepreneurship is a useful route to self-sufficiency, although refugees face more barriers than other immigrant entrepreneurs, such as language barriers and bureaucratic processes. This article uses semi-structured interviews with refugee entrepreneurs, civil society, social enterprises and the public sector to identify the main challenges for refugee entrepreneurs and to examine whether entrepreneurship is effective for achieving self-reliance in one of the most important centres for creating innovative projects supporting refugee inclusion and entrepreneurship, namely Berlin. Though it is too early to demonstrate whether entrepreneurship has long-term economic gains, this research shows that entrepreneurship is not a ‘fast track’ to economic self-reliance, but has several benefits for social inclusion. It also demonstrates the importance of holistic support systems for refugee entrepreneurs and the difficulty of refugee entrepreneurial success even in the most developed economies.
