Episode notes
We Don’t Need More Start-Ups. We Need Belonging!
In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr Tabish Zaman speaks with Dr Alexandra David — sociologist at the Institute of Work and Technology in Germany and one of Europe’s leading voices on migration, innovation, and inclusion.
Together, they explore:
- How refugee and migrant entrepreneurs turn displacement into innovation.
- Why “deprived areas” are often the most creative spaces in Europe.
- The real meaning of embeddedness, connectedness, and belongingness.
- Why inclusion begins with trust, not policy.
🎙 “Entrepreneurship isn’t just economic — it’s emotional. It’s how people rebuild belonging.”
