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.
