Résumé

Immigrant entrepreneurship has become a major source of economic growth fueling economies in many countries. Traditionally, immigrants (especially first generation) preferred to locate within their respective ethnic enclaves and sell traditional and cultural products and services. However a shift towards knowledge-based sectors has been noticed during the last two decades. Immigrants are increasingly engaging in sectors such as the high-tech which require higher human capital attributes. With much focus on the United States context, this paper reviews immigrant entrepreneurship in high-tech sectors and aims to bring to light its importance and contribution to the economy of the host country. The paper also discusses requirements and drivers of immigrant’s engagement in high-tech industries and identifies avenues for future research.
Keywords: businesses, high-tech, immigrant entrepreneurs, U.S.
