About this event

  • 2 hours 30 minutes

Being a newcomer to a country is probably one of the toughest decisions one has to face. It is filled with good, bad and uglies. When you also add being an entrepreneur, it is a rollercoaster ride that can feel lonely at times.

Only another immigrant, only another person with an accent who has walked on these shoes will get what is like to leave our countries, start from zero and build a business. Yet, we are so busy with our businesses that we may not make the time to connect to those people who understand us the most in our business journey.

Join us for an exciting evening of networking and inspiration for our Immigrant Entreprenuers Mixer in Ottawa! This in-person event will take place on Wednesday, May 29, 2024 at 6:00 PM EST.

Connect with other talented and driven immigrant entrepreneurs in our vibrant community. Share your experiences, exchange ideas, and build valuable connections that can take your business to new heights.

Whether you are just starting your entrepreneurial journey or have already established your own business, this MeetUp is the perfect opportunity to learn from each other, gain insights, and find support. Our friendly and inclusive atmosphere ensures that everyone feels welcome and empowered.

Don't miss out on this incredible chance to meet like-minded individuals, expand your network, and discover new opportunities. Mark your calendars and join us for an evening of inspiration, collaboration, and growth!

This is the type of networking event where it feels like HOME!

Light nibbles will be offered.:)

Frequently asked questions

Why are you asking attendees for a financial donation at the event instead of charging per ticket?

As a fairly new not-for-profit organization, we are not eligible for government funding yet so our funds are very, very limited. Donations at the event will help us continue hosting these events while providing value to all our attendees. We appreciate your support! Pay-what-you-can.

I want to go but I don't have anyone to go with. Can I attend alone?

Absolutely! In fact, most of attendees go alone and leave with a bunch of new friends. This is one of the most welcoming events for people coming solo.

I don't have a business yet but I have an idea. Can I go?

Yes! Many people who are interested in opening a business but are just at the idea stage come to these events to start connecting and get inspired.

I am not an immigrant. Can I still come?

Everyone is welcome! The focus of our group is immigrant entrepreneurs, but if you are entrepreneurial, welcoming and willing to make connections and support the community, you are more than welcomed!
