𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧𝟮𝗕𝗘: 𝗔 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗮𝘀 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 ✔️ 1 mission ✔️ 4 partners ✔️ 180 guests A couple of days ago, we hosted the second edition of MENT2BE - and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Together with BRYCK.COM, Startup-Verband and Digital Hub Initiative, we invited an even larger audience to join us for a whole day full of inspiring discussions around migrant entrepreneurship. 💫 Why was this event so magical? Because we didn’t talk 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 migrant entrepreneurs, but 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 them. We had inspiring founders and innovators on stage, we heard them share their stories, we followed their journeys and learned from their successes and failures. After days like this one, more than ever, we’re committed to transforming Germany into an inclusive “Startup Nation” and creating it a welcoming space for entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds. Thank you to everyone who planned, contributed, and participated - it was a blast. Let’s continue this journey of inclusion and empowerment! ❤️❤️ A huge thank you to 🙏🏻 our panelists Min-Sung Sean Kim, Dr. Jonathan Apasu, Ali Soysüren, Mpho M., Diar Khal, Nana Addison, Benjamin Wilkening, Vanusch Walk 🙏🏻 2hearts ambassadors Michael Pesch, Shobhna Mohn, Armin Raffalski 🙏🏻 Cherno Jobatey for the great moderation 🙏🏻 and many more: Ersin Üstün, Hind Seiferth, Gülsah Wilke, İskender Dirik, Marc Margulan, Christian Lüdtke, Laura Profanter-Sonnenschein, Sarah Wurzer, Oktay Erciyaz, Elnura Ashimova, Kevin Klug, Catharina Fichelmann, Claudia Behrendt, Theresa Ebeling, Franziska Teubert
