A lawyer who wrote a popular book on the role of immigrants in the American economy will lead a workshop at Wright State University on supporting immigrant entrepreneurs in Dayton.
“Immigrant, Inc.: Building an Ecosystem to Help Immigrant Entrepreneurs Succeed” will be held Friday, March 14, from 8 a.m. to noon in the Wright State Nutter Center Berry Room.
The free workshop will focus on supporting the next generation of Dayton’s immigrant entrepreneurs and making Dayton the best place for immigrants to launch and grow their businesses.
“We all stand to benefit if we get immigrants to move here and then they invest in the area, whether in businesses, buying houses. Everybody benefits by folks contributing to the system,” said Tony Ortiz, associate vice president of Latino affairs at Wright State.
The conference will include discussions on trends in immigrant entrepreneurship and economic development and what immigrant entrepreneurs need to succeed in the United States.
Wright State Provost S. Narayanan, who immigrated to the United States from India to pursue his graduate studies, will discuss “2020 Vision: Dayton Progressing in the 21st Century.”…….Read More
