This chapter reviews the topic of immigration and entrepreneurship.It presents a literature review of the economic impact of immigration on both host and origin countries and discusses the influence of immigration and the level of host country innovation. The main part of the review is an in-depth analysis of different aspects that influence the impact immigration has on host country entrepreneurship level. Within this review we present the main findings and explore the main gaps.
