EMEN has established three communities of practice (CoPs) which share information and knowledge and disseminate good practices on three areas that are key to supporting migrant entrepreneurship in the short to medium term: 
·         Coaching and mentoring
·         Access to finance
·         Professionalisation of migrant entrepreneurs’ associations and diversity management in chambers of commerce.

These CoPs bring together relevant players at European, national and regional levels and their activities aim at meeting their members’ needs, under the guidance of their experienced leaders. They will operate continually via online fora, and will also meet physically (a) at an annual conference of the whole project; and (b) at workshops arranged on the margins of other events as appropriate to their theme (including events organised by the partner organisations).

The CoPs will be open to all organisations supporting migrant entrepreneurs.
