INTRODUCTION
The idea of writing an overview of the challenges within the Montreal ethnic entrepreneur community was given by my former director to assess the need for new services and initiatives. Instead of making an inventory of specific needs from my day to day work experience with the Black entrepreneurs I created a general picture of the main realities within the ethnic community in the Cities of Western countries where we live as Diaspora. This analysis target essentially the ethnic entrepreneurs that recently immigrated, emphasis on the Black community, who have the challenge to integrate themselves as individuals or communities. Most of you are familiar with them, but at least we can now have a document that we can share so that everyone will be on the same page to start an action against these challenges and initiate CHANGE.Arnaud Segla fait la promotion de l'alternative informelle et de l'identité ethnique en matière de performance socioéconomique inter et intra communautés.
Dirigeant d’une firme de consultation et d’un Think Tank depuis 2009 il bâtit une expertise en projets d’entrepreneuriat ethnique pour l’autonomisation économique des communautés à travers diverses expériences en gestion de projets et ingénierie d’affaires visant à contribuer à la définition de solutions alternatives informelles en matière de développement économique et durable au Canada et en Afrique.
