About NAVI-MIG

The project idea of NAVI-MIG was created as a contribution to inclusion and integration of recently arrived migrants, since according to some evidence, migrants are at a greater risk of social exclusion than the native population. Successful migration integration starts with enabling newly arrived migrants to access essential services and help them get settled and oriented in their new residence. Hence, mobile applications are a useful tool to give a first roadmap and orientation, and it can help improving access to essential services like city halls, housing initiatives, job centers, health services, child support what else. McKinsey Global Institute estimates that successfully integrating only the refugees who have arrived in Europe into the labour market could add roughly €70 billion–€80 billion to annual GDP.
