The Office for Economic Development of the State Capital of Düsseldorf is offering a seminar in English on the topic of starting a business, aimed specifically at foreign entrepreneurs and small business owners
. The seminar provides a forum to discuss the many questions and challenges that foreign entrepreneurs face on their path to building a successful business.
