microStart gaat op zoek naar ‘ondernemers in de dop’ tijdens de eerste Week van het Microkrediet

“Bertrand is dol op zijn nieuwe baan. Dat is normaal, hij heeft ze zelf gecreëerd.” Met dit campagnebeeld lanceert de instelling voor microkredieten microStartde eerste Week van het Microkrediet*, die plaatsvindt van 7 tot 11 mei 2012 in Brussel. Bedoeling van het initiatief is onder meer het belang van deze financieringsvorm in de strijd tegen werkloosheid en sociale uitsluiting onder de publieke aandacht te brengen. Het is de eerste keer dat deze week in België georganiseerd wordt, in tegenstelling tot andere Europese landen zoals Frankrijk, waar het systeem van microkredieten al jaren vaste voet aan de grond heeft.
