Startups Without Borders has become an official partner of the AFRONEWS – Ortel Mobile African Community in Germany Awards 2022.
Startups Without Borders is an organisation that creates world-class entrepreneurship events, training programs, and media products where diversity takes centre stage. It builds the startup ecosystem without borders.
The world-class events organised by the Startups Without Borders bring together high-profile speakers, experts and international leaders from the startup, corporate, investment, government and non-profit sector to meet founders from the most remote corners of the world. From startup competitions, to training bootcamps, to the Startups Without Borders (SWB) summit, Startups Without Borders gathers investors, incubators, mentors, and corporations with a passion for creating new realities.
“Startups Without Borders couldn’t be happier to support the African Community in Germany Awards. Such an initiative is paramount, not only as a recognition for exceptionally talented individuals in the African diaspora, but also because it highlights the immense contribution that African communities bring to the German economic and cultural landscape,” said Valentina Primo, founder and CEO of Startups Without Borders.
The African Community in Germany Awards are organised by the AFRONEWS (afronews.de), the newspaper for Africans in Germany. The Awards celebrate and recognise outstanding achievements of Africans in different fields in Germany. They are a way of appreciating and encouraging Africans who have excelled in different fields and are making a positive contribution to the German society.
The African Community in Germany Awards recognise the good work done by African organisations/associations and businesses to promote a positive image of Africa and Africans, facilitate integration of Africans in Germany, promote business opportunities and international cooperation between Germany and African countries.
“We are honoured to have Startups Without Borders as a partner of The African Community in Germany Awards,” said Stephen Ogongo, Editor of AFRONEWS. “Startups Without Borders has been doing a great job in promoting and facilitating entrepreneurship among migrants and refugees. The organisation joins us at the right time since we are particularly keen to encourage entrepreneurship amongst Africans in Germany by providing training/mentorship opportunities and resources to initiate/sustain good start-up ideas.”
Nominations for the African Community in Germany Awards 2022 opened on 14th February and will close on 30th May 2022.
