• A ‘sense of belonging’ is essential for migrant entrepreneurs (MEs), influencing not only
  their integration but also their success within entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs). This concept transcends mere economic involvement, delving into critical psychosocial dimensions often overlooked in traditional EE research.
• The study highlights how a robust sense of belonging significantly enhances business success for MEs. In contrast, its absence can lead to issues such as ‘ecosystem hopping’.
• The interim findings call policymakers and practitioners to prioritise belonging in ecosystem design, fostering environments that are equitable and supportive, thus improving the well-being and business outcomes for diverse entrepreneurial communities.
