Building on Transnational links between Diaspora Communities has been recognised as an effective means for creating new enterprises and jobs for local people. A new African and Caribbean Textile Co-operative is bringing together people with design, marketing, production, sewing and tailoring skills to make clothes and accessories for both local and international markets.

A Transnational Entrepreneurship symposium is being scheduled to take place in Bradford Autumn 2013 to explore the most effective Business Models for the growth of Micro-Transnationals and International Development Co-operation.
