Meet-Up
We then invite all the changemakers to an all paid trip to Berlin on the 27th of June to come together in person and connect with the other changemakers, as well as senior professionals from SAP who will share their insights and expertise with the group. The workshop will be followed by a networking event with the social entrepreneurship ecosystem in Germany.
