EmiGreat is a relocation management software that enables migrants to manage their process on their own. When we started with the idea, we realized that the problem is connected to information inequality caused by reduced access to information. We are solving a problem for three stakeholders – Migrants, Companies, and Governments of which the migrant is the stakeholder most heavily affected by a negative outcome in the migration process.
Currently, the process of migration to Sweden is documentation-heavy, complex, and at best confusing. This causes migrants, companies, and governments to make mistakes. Even small mistakes can cause migrants devastating negative effects such as deportation causing mental, physical, and economical stress. In the long term, companies lose talent and productivity, societies lose inclusion & integration, and governments lose citizens’ trust. #kompetensutvisning
EmiGreat aims to alleviate the problem of information inequality by putting information in the hands of our users and empowering them to take charge of their migration journey in their new host country. We will do this by being a single digital portal that personalizes the migration process to each individual user’s needs and by connecting them with all the actors across different sectors relevant to their process, thus relieving the major pains of not only legitimate migrants but also companies and governments around the world.
