Our Story so far

2017 - Identifying the challenge

Our journey started with a mission to connect international talent with local industries in Dresden. We saw a growing issue: international students and researchers were leaving for bigger cities, unaware of the career opportunities in Dresden and Saxony. Despite its status as an academic hub, Dresden lacked visibility as a destination for international careers.

2018/2019 - Our first step: Bridging the gap

To address the lack of visibility for international talent and companies, we launched campaigns like “My Talent is Your Success and “International Talent Wanted. These efforts were supported by networking events that directly connected talents with employers, creating/ filling job their opportunities. As a result, we gained recognition as a go-to resource for international talent, leading to invitations to TED Talks and other platforms to advocate for international talent integration in regions like Saxony, which face shortages.

2020 - Expanding our Mission: Relocation Services

As our reputation grew, companies sought our expertise in international hiring, particularly in relocating employees, understanding visa requirements, and verifying foreign qualifications. This demand led to the creation of our Relocation Services, perfectly aligned with our mission to connect international talent with local industry.

2022 - Supporting Integration: CrossCulture Training & Workshops

Companies sought our advice in integrating international employees and creating inclusive environments for long-term retention. In response, we developed crosscultural training workshops that equip teams to effectively manage and lead diverse, multicultural groups. Our aim is to build workplaces where international employees feel valued and fully integrated, driving the company’s success.

Our Present & Future

Over the past seven years, intap network has evolved to meet the changing needs of local industries and international talent. Through visibility campaigns, relocation support, and intercultural training, we’ve established ourselves as a trusted partner in Dresden’s international talent ecosystem and beyond.

Our story is one of adaptability, commitment, and a deep understanding of the value international talent brings to local industries. We continue to drive forward, connecting international talent with local industry and making Dresden/Saxony a thriving destination for international professionals.
