About Event

Immigrants: they get the job done, right? It is no secret the world today is increasingly polarized on immigration. However, world economies believed for years that tech innovation was propelled by newcomers, from Nikola Tesla to Sergey Brin of Google. However, Tesla or Brin might have found it difficult to integrate in today's communities based purely on their tech skill and knowledge. Hear Taimur Khan talk about his own journey why the issue of community integration for tech immigrants needs to be revisited. ABOUT OUR GUEST Eight year ago, Taimur Khan left Pakistan to better himself. First, a college-scholarship took him to upstate New York, and then a tech startup idea brought him to east Germany. Since moving to Germany, Taimur has not only been able to successfully establish his startup, but also to teach web development to "newcomers."
