The MOSAIC Competence Framework is a practical tool designed to support under-represented entrepreneurs across Europe. Developed through research and collaboration in six countries — France, Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, Denmark and Romania — it identifies the essential skills needed to succeed in business while addressing the unique challenges faced by entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds.
This framework provides a clear structure for developing key entrepreneurial competencies, from financial literacy and innovation to resilience and networking. It also offers insights into navigating different national systems, including funding mechanisms, bureaucratic processes and cultural expectations.
By equipping individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to overcome systemic barriers, the MOSAIC Competence Framework aims to make entrepreneurship more accessible, inclusive and effective for all.
