About us
With more and more refugees displaced around the world, businesses have a critical role to play in helping refugees integrate economically in their new communities. Tent was launched in 2016 by Hamdi Ulukaya, the CEO and founder of Chobani – a multibillion dollar food company in the U.S. – to mobilize businesses across the Americas and Europe to fill this gap. Today, Tent is a network of over 400 major companies committed to helping hundreds of thousands of refugees access local labor markets by helping them become job-ready and connecting them to work.

Great to be back in Madrid today to meet with State Secretary Pilar Cancela Rodríguez at the Spanish Ministerio de Inclusión, Seguridad Social y Migraciones. With the Tent España coalition growing – now counting 45 of Spain’s largest employers in its ranks – we met to build on the formal partnership established between the Tent Partnership for Refugees and the Ministry last year and discuss ways we can further accelerate the labor market integration of the hundreds of thousands of refugees and asylum seekers currently living in Spain.
