Sponsored by the Department of State, WorldChicago launched the Tech Innovation, Education, and Entrepreneurship Fellowship Program in May 2015. Since then, they have hosted over 100 emerging tech and entrepreneurship leaders from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, and North Macedonia for one-month fellowships in Chicago with leading tech-related companies in a variety of fields, government agencies, NGOs promoting innovation and entrepreneurship, and university and non-university technology incubators.
Slovenia has 38 World Chicago Professional Fellows alumni so far and Ambassador Blanchard was more than happy to host a happy hour to continue to encourage young entrepreneurs and innovators to maintain relationships they built in the U.S., and remain engaged with us!
