The topic was european entrepreneurship in Thuringia. I participated in a business competition with over thirty-five students from a multitude of countries including: Indonesia, Russia, Germany, Bosnia, Mali, Antigua-Barbuda, Ukraine, and The Republic of Congo. In accordance to the competition, we were divided into seven teams. During my time in Germany, I was exposed to world renowned brands, such as Carl Ziess and Opel. I led my team to the formation of our business plan, and together, we presented our plan to a group of investors. My team got third in the competition. This international experience will also count as credit for my International Marketing class at the Dillard College of Business at MSU.During my time in Germany, I also visited the Wartburg Castle, Jena, Eisenach, Carl Zeiss headquarters, and Opel Eisenach GmbH.
