Thank You to the IIM Team
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the International Institute of Minnesota for its outstanding dedication to supporting immigrants across Minnesota—in workforce development, career pathways, and entrepreneurship. From its founding in 1919 as a key resource for New Americans, the Institute’s ongoing commitment to equity, training, and business opportunity has been a vital force for inclusive economic growth.
We also thank all the event organizers, panelists, sponsors, and resource-table partners for creating an environment where immigrant-entrepreneurs could build networks, find mentorship, and receive practical tools and inspiration.
