How we unlock newcomer talent
We source & match talent

In collaboration with leading industry-specific actors, we provide certification, skill acceleration and network penetration for newcomer talents. Our strength lies in the next-generation learning methodologies we create, which combine innovation labs, blended learning and immersive experiences.
The output: future-proof talent with unique points of view that are ready to lead across sectors.

We change the narrative
We create stories and immersive experiences that actively change the perception of migration in host societies. Through our platform Stories of place, we curate rich content filled with insights and data on the intersection of migration and innovation. In Paris, Berlin and London we create nomadic, immersive spaces where actors across sectors can experience migration differently.
