Our FIDA representatives Marian Mischke, Lisa Heß, and Nick Krause attended the EASTSIDE HEROES Festival at the Erfurt Train Port on behalf of FIDA.

EASTSIDE HEROES brings together entrepreneurs, founders, skilled workers, and young professionals from eastern Germany. The focus is on people and ideas that drive business growth and help shape the region’s future.

The program featured a variety of topics related to digitalization, artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, and the future of work. In addition to presentations and real-world examples, the event provided ample opportunity for one-on-one conversations and networking with other participants.

For Marian, Lisa, and Nick, it was a varied day filled with many new connections, diverse perspectives, and interesting conversations. It’s precisely this exchange with people from different fields that makes such events particularly exciting for us.

Many thanks to the EASTSIDE HEROES team for the successful event and the open dialogue!
