The global diaspora is one of the largest economic forces on the planet. And it is almost completely unmeasured. Over 280 million people live outside their country of origin. Millions of them build companies, move capital, create jobs, and operate across borders. Yet we reduce diaspora to remittances and cultural identity. We do not treat it as an economic system. If the diaspora were a country, economists would track it. Governments would model it. Investors would allocate around it. But because it is distributed, we ignore it. That blind spot is not accidental. It’s structural. DiasporaX is built on a simple thesis: what is not measured cannot be optimized, and what is not optimized remains undervalued. So here’s the real question: Is diaspora entrepreneurship an overlooked economic category, or are we fundamentally misunderstanding how global economies now operate? Let’s have that conversation.
