The magic of meetings

The people behind the Cross-Border Talent Bridge project believe in the magic of meetings. When we come together, we can co-create, gain new insights, and grow collectively.

The project's events connect companies in key industries with international talent. Through networking sessions, workshops, and career fairs, these events foster collaboration, support talent integration, and provide insights into the local job market and career opportunities.

2024:

All of these events are part of the project's broader strategy to strengthen talent retention and attraction in the Greater Copenhagen region, addressing the skills shortage in the life sciences and tech sectors.

Events for companies and international talents

The events organized by the project are tailored to meet the needs of our primary target group—companies in the specified industries—while also engaging the secondary target group of international talents, particularly master’s students, PhDs, postdocs, and their families. These events provide a platform for businesses to engage with highly skilled individuals, who are looking to establish themselves in the region.

Through networking sessions, workshops, and career fairs, the project aims to foster collaboration between companies and international talent, while also helping talents better understand the local job market, culture, and opportunities for long-term growth and development.

Diverse events for specific target groups

Within the project, we organize a wide range of events, each with distinct purposes and aimed at specific target groups:

  • Matchmaking events for employers and international talents
  • Kick-start job programs for spouses/partners and master’s students
  • Mentorship program for international talents
  • Welcome event for international talents
  • Seminar series on talent attraction: for companies to attract and recruit talent.
  • Seminars and workshops regarding lessons learned and best practices, for partners and associated partners.
  • Final seminar presenting lessons learned and long-term strategy, for partners, associated partners and relevant local, regional, national and international stakeholders.
