According to new numbers of the promotional bank KfW its portion of 2013 rose in Germany again easily. In 21 percent of the cases new enterprises were called by Migranten in the life. One year before were there 19 percent. Altogether 868,000 humans dared last year the step into independence - 93,000 more than 2012. Most strongly represented under the young entrepreneurs with foreign roots are according to KfW information on the average the years 2008 to 2013 Turks (21 percent). Relatively high portions are allotted also to founders with Russian (10 percent), Polish (7 percent) or to Italian (5 percent) nationality. “With their higher inclination to make themselves independent and create also jobs, represent to Migranten a basic column of the establishment happening in Germany”, balance the KfW. “You concern thereby their establishment projects more offensively, for example by employing employees, even if the establishment a decision due to missing acquisition alternatives were.” Drawback of the high portion is according to KfW however a “easily higher abort rate”.
