Our story

MTOP is a social business founded in 2016 by Nina Poxleitner, Julian Richter, and Lisa-Maria Sommer-Fein. For two years, they taught at new secondary schools in Vienna as Teach For Austria Fellows and experienced firsthand that integration in Austria wasn't yet working as it should. They wanted to address this issue, highlighting the immense potential of integration and making the benefits of diversity tangible. Through collaboration with well-educated refugees and Austrian companies, they put their mission into practice. Since then, MTOP has grown steadily and continuously evolved.
