The American Council on Germany and the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany in New York cordially invite you to join us for the “Innovators and Investors Stammtisch”.
The NYC “Innovators and Investors Stammtisch” series is an initiative designed to bring together German and U.S. professionals for informal, engaging conversations. Inspired by the German tradition of the Stammtisch, this regular gathering fosters networking, knowledge sharing, and transatlantic exchange in a relaxed setting. Each event features rotating guest speakers or site visits offering unique insights, creating a space for meaningful connections between leaders and innovators from both countries.
The Microsoft Garage is a program that drives a culture of innovation – with the goal of creating an ecosystem of collaboration, creativity, and experimentation. There are Garage sites at Microsoft locations around the world: Redmond, Vancouver, Bay Area, Atlanta, Reston/DC, New England, New York City, Dublin, Israel, Serbia, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Noida, East Africa, and Beijing.
The Garage attracts people who are passionate about making a difference in the world. They are relentlessly curious and lifelong, hands-on learners. By actively participating in the creative process, regardless of success or failure, each person gets the opportunity to gain valuable insights, increase their knowledge, and learn diverse perspectives.
In the early days of The Garage, the focus was on employees and mobilizing Microsoft’s cultural ambitions. The Garage helped employees integrate these cultural priorities — Growth Mindset, Customer Obsession, Diversity & Inclusion, One Microsoft, and Making a difference — into everyday work. As The Garage grew and the culture shift actions gained critical mass, entire teams and organizations began driving their business forward using these actions. An additional focus of The Garage was helping teams and organizations integrate growth mindset activities into team workflows. More recently, The Garage has continued to evolve by bringing in Microsoft customers to team up with employees for high-speed growth mindset activities.
