Name: Nina Bremer
Role/Occupation: Engineer and Entrepreneur
Country: Germany and South Afric
I recently interviewed, Nina Bremer, an young female engineer who has a passion for entrepreneurship.
Bremer’s engineering journey started at University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hanover, Germany where she began the engineering study work program. She later continued her education with a master program called Entrepreneurship and Business Design at Chalmers in Sweden. During the course of which she was introduced to Umnandi. Umnandi is a nonprofit which aims to provide young South Africans with practical knowledge, tools and motivation to pursue entrepreneurial projects that benefit their communities.
Engineers without Borders - South Africa (EWB-SA) partners with Umnandi to help set up an event for young South Africans in Johannesburg during the Easter break. Bremer feels “that entrepreneurship is one of the best and sustainable ways to create a future where everyone can be a part of a striving eeconomy… [where] people have the chance to build there own ventures and develop products or services they believe in.“ She was able to gain new skills through her involvement with Umnandi, from team and task management, to fundraising and creating social media content.
Although, she feels like she is in a minority as a female engineer, Bremer believes that being a woman allows her to have a different perspective on matters which gives her an advantage over her male colleagues in an innovative field such as engineering.
Her advice to aspiring engineers is that if they’re interested in something, they should go ahead and share it with others as they’ll be surprised by how many people are keen to learn about it and how they can empower others by doing so.
Read more about this passionate and enterprising young engineer, who through the use of her engineering skills and her entrepreneurial tools aims to empower others and to make a positive impact in any and every way she can.
Nina Bremer was interviewed by Dhruti Dheda, the founder of the African Steminist on behalf of Engineers without Borders- South Africa. The full interview can be found here.
