Come for the job – Stay for the City. Why Urban Culture Matters for International Talent.
Career opportunities may bring people to a place — but culture, community and quality of life are what make them stay.
As part of the Global Minds – Local Meetings series, Summer Talks brings together internationals and internationally minded people in Krefeld for open and honest conversations.
In this edition, we explore what makes cities like Krefeld attractive to international talent beyond career opportunities alone. Together with guests from business, culture and urban citizenship, we discuss how cities can create a sense of belonging — and why urban life, cultural spaces and local communities matter.
We ask:
- What role do city life and culture play in attracting global talent?
- How can companies, cultural institutions and communities help people feel at home?
- What can mid-sized cities like Krefeld offer internationally besides economic opportunity?
Rather than a traditional speaker format, Summer Talks focuses on meaningful conversations, participation and new encounters. The evening invites guests to exchange perspectives, share experiences and explore new ideas together. Because global talent chooses more than a job. They choose a city. A way of life. A sense of belonging.
No registration required.
Just come by and join the conversation.
