IntEnt brings entrepreneurship and development closer together by providing services to entrepreneurs.

From brain drain to brain gain

Migration creates new opportunities. Once they are integrated in western society, migrants can act as a catalyst in the development of their country of origin. By living and working here, they have gained experience with ‘other’ services and products, an added value, which they apply to their new company. By helping entrepreneurs to implement their plans in their own country, both knowledge and investments are exported. In this way, young and healthy companies constitute a driving force behind the progress made in developing countries. This is Brain Gain in a practical way.

Financing via remittances

IntEnt plays hardly any role in the financing of new enterprises. Good ideas and plans will always be able to find finance. Many starting entrepreneurs start their new business with their own savings. These savings included money-transfer to their country of origin over a long period of time. IntEnt could assist the starting entrepreneur to find finances.

Gender and entrepreneurship development

The full support and involvement of family members is a determining factor for the success of business. IntEnt devotes much attention to this aspect.
