MENT2BE: Why Migrant Entrepreneurs are meant 2 be in Germany
A lot has happened since our last MEnt2Be event in October 2023: The topic of migrant entrepreneurship has made it to the stages of major conferences, in the media and nationwide campaigns.
But the topic still needs this visibility, maybe more than ever - with right-wing movements constantly rising and mostly negative media coverage associated to migrants.
Therefore, we are more than happy and proud, to give the many successful entrepreneurs with migration background in Germany a stage again this year!
