Entrepreneurs videos
We asked the entrepreneurs about their personality and also about their business. You will learn if they are more introverted or extroverted, what is their favourite place on Earth but also what issues they are tackling with your business, what was the most challenging part of building a business and what inspires them. So together we can inspire each other 🙂
Hannah, Managing Director of “Generation-Cafés” in Vienna
Asib from REDI Recycling Making Difference for Roma in North Macedonia
Hannah Lux, managing director of two Vollpension-Cafés in Vienna, where young and old come together. In these “generation-cafés” the cakes and sweets are prepared by retired seniors working as cooks and hosts. The cafés are a space for guests to feel welcome, drink coffee, eat grandma’s cake and get into a conversation with the seniors working there. This ideally makes a diverse group of people – young and old, tourists and Viennese – get in touch heart to heart, countering the growing gap between young and old.

Einstein Makuyana who has a personal record in drawing design in Zimbabwe and likes to play with his gadgets also tells us how his business is making his community live better. At the same time the acceptance from his community about what he does was one of the biggest challenges, but he preserved. BlitzTech Electronics is solving the issues of innovation in Zimbabwe, as most of the electronics are made and imported from China and BlitzTech wants to change it. Einstein recommends you to take more time from learning from people with experience and focus on tangible skills rather than just chasing diplomas. Will you take his advice?
