A roundtable celebrating the contribution of black founders
About this event
This Black History Month, CodeBase and Techscaler are delighted to be celebrating the contribution of black founders, as part of a round table discussion in partnership with Radiant and Brighter.
Immigration has been the subject of scrutiny and public discourse in the UK, however this debate has often neglected to consider the economic, social and cultural contributions made by immigrant-led SMEs. We are thrilled to be joined by guest speaker, Tynah Matembe, founder of MoneymatiX who will join us as we explore how Scotland’s ecosystem could progress inclusivity of the untapped skills, talent and innovation within BIPOC communities.
Whether you are a budding or seasoned entrepreneur, we would like to invite you to join us and look forward to welcoming you.
