We invite employers, HR professionals and community partners in Breda to meet international professionals, and take away practical ideas for their organisations.

Mark your calendars for March 26th!

We will host a talent and recruitment event, #HirePeopleNotPaper, showcasing international talent, the cooperation between government and local employers, and the impact they can make together!

The Story of Internationalisation in Breda

Breda is transforming itself into an international hotspot for applied technology and creativity—a forward-looking city where innovation, talent, and inclusivity form the pillars of economic and social resilience. Its ambition is clear: to become a thriving global hub that attracts and retains creative, highly educated professionals and entrepreneurs from around the world.

This evolving innovation economy is supported by a targeted labour strategy that will need international talent to succeed. With a strong commitment to urban development, talent attraction, and retention, Breda is a city that’s not just a place to work, but a place to live, grow, and belong.

#HirePeopleNotPaper will be part of the story to connect regional employers to the international talent needed to meet Breda’s ambitious transformation.
