Special housing and jobs themes

This year the Employment and Housing themes at the fair will be extra highlighted, recognisable with the ‘Jobs for Expats’ and ‘Houses for Expats’ signage.

Jobs for Expats : employers, experts, job coaches and recruiters will be on hand to help internationals wishing to build a professional network, continue their education, pursue their career or succeed as an entrepreneur.
