On August 29, 2022, Ambassador Judy Rising Reinke participated in a roundtable with Montenegrin and other regional startups and U.S. partners titled “Digital Den Connects: Continents.” This third and final roundtable marks the successful completion of the Montenegrin Tech and Startup Bridge (MTSB), a $150,000 U.S.-funded grant project with NGO Digital Den, which facilitated connections between innovators from Montenegro and the Western Balkan region and start-up communities in Phoenix, Arizona; Denver, Colorado; and Portland, Maine.
Digital Den plans for MTSB to work to bring mentors, influencers, and important stakeholders from U.S. target areas to Montenegro and the Western Balkan region. This third event brought together Digital Den partners from the United States to learn about investment opportunities in Montenegro and to witness first-hand the impact of their contributions to the MTSB project.
