APPG Announces Launch of National Diaspora Business Day

The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Ethnic Minority Business Owners is delighted to announce the launch of National Diaspora Business Day, a new national initiative celebrating the achievements and economic contribution of entrepreneurs and businesses led by people from diaspora backgrounds across the United Kingdom.

From local high streets to international markets, these entrepreneurs play a vital role in Britain's economy. They build businesses, create jobs, provide goods and services to local communities, drive innovation across industries and strengthen the UK's international trade connections.

Research has estimated that Ethnic Minority businesses contribute £25 billion annually to the UK economy, yet their achievements and wider economic contribution are not always fully recognised.

Under the theme Connecting Local to Global, National Diaspora Business Day aims to raise awareness of this contribution, celebrate entrepreneurial success and encourage greater recognition, collaboration and opportunities for businesses across the country.

Be Part of National Diaspora Business Day

We invite business owners, business networks, local authorities, community organisations and corporate partners across the UK to be part of this exciting national initiative.
