Join us for a dynamic virtual learning and knowledge exchange bringing together founders from Southern Africa and Germany who are navigating challenges and exploring opportunities of cross-border entrepreneurship.

This is a space for "Removing Barriers and Welcoming All". Let’s share real stories and practical insights with one another in order to scale ideas and cross borders. As part of Global Entrepreneurship Week 2025, this interactive session offers a unique opportunity to gain first-hand insights from entrepreneurs who have built bridges between Southern Africa and Germany.

Discover what it takes to expand across markets—whether through import or export, partnerships, or business development - and learn how to overcome cultural, regulatory, and logistical hurdles.

Through moderated Q&A sessions and shared founder stories, participants will:

• Learn from real-world experiences of entrepreneurs operating across Southern Africa and Germany

• Explore practical tools, networks, and strategies that support international growth

• Build new connections and spark future collaborations across continents

Whether you're a startup founder looking to grow globally or simply curious about international entrepreneurship, this exchange will provide valuable takeaways and inspiration.
