Congratulations Zarah!
Starting in April 2022, the 31-year-old Zarah Bruhn will take on the role of the new commissioner for social innovation at the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). Her company socialbee gGmbH has been helping refugees to integrate into the labor market since 2016 – when Syrians fled to Germany to escape the war. Zarah has a lot planned for her new role: “It’s important to me that more capital is made available,” she explains and demands: “Important funding programs should also be made available for social innovations.”
