Brown Bag Luncheon on Entrepreneurship - 12/06: 6 p.m.

We host the next installment of our Brown Bag Luncheon on Entrepreneurship on June 12, 6 p.m. at the Business + Innovation Center in Kaiserslautern. Are you interested in starting a business here in Germany? When entrepreneurs start a new business, it is usually synonymous with doing what they’re passionate about, being their own boss, and expecting financial gains. But as a business owner, you also face diverse challenges, especially during the starting phase. Knowing about the potential challenges when setting up and running a business can help avoid making common mistakes.

Martin Swierzy, Head Coach and CEO of INTERNATIONAL.FOUNDERS.TRAINING, will share his knowledge and experiences on what it takes to set up and run a business as an American entrepreneur on the German economy and will be ready to answer your questions. Furthermore, representatives from the Business + Innovation Center and the Wirtschaftsförderung Kaiserslautern (Economic Development Agency) will point out how they can support entrepreneurs willing to set up a business in the KMC. Afterward, there will be plenty of time to discuss the topic further and exchange views and experiences with like-minded business owners over a cup of coffee.

Admission is free, sign up via email to constance@atlantische-akademie.de.

The luncheon is part of an ongoing German-American discussion about how to support Americans and their businesses and business ideas.
