Interviews with people who help cities, regions and countries attract, welcome and keep international talent: leaders of talent attraction programmes, international houses, city and regional promotion agencies, and the advisers who work with them. The collection includes conversations with leaders from Copenhagen Capacity, Stockholm Business Region, Oslo&Co, Tel Aviv Global, Barcelona and the Danish town of Struer, among others.
Recurring topics include how places present themselves to skilled people from abroad, what makes newcomers stay, the role of employers, universities and residents, and how talent attraction connects with city branding, investment promotion and everyday quality of life. For a closer look at current practice, see our series Talent Attraction: Practitioner Perspectives.
Interviewees are nominated by peers and invited by TPBO. Background reading: talent attraction explained. More leaders from other fields: Who is Who.
