Experience XL is back! Join this event for an afternoon of connecting talents, ventures, and the deep-tech community.Â
We’ve partnered with HighTechXL for a HirePeopleNotPaper event within ExperienceXL.
During this event, international talent can discover career opportunities with HighTechXL ventures and alumni during the Career Expo. Meet teams behind deep-tech startups tackling some of society’s biggest challenges. Where will your expertise and skills make an impact?
STARTUPS & HIREPEOPLENOTPAPER
The start-up and scale-up ecosystems are great places for international talent to explore employment opportunities. They generally have a global focus, where talent with expertise from diverse backgrounds is needed and appreciated. At this stage of their development, the people factor is extremely important as they build teams who can connect to the venture’s subject matter and/or mission.
HirePeopleNotPaper is all about fostering connections between employers and talent. We will design an activity for participants to help guide their internationals with the present ventures to make the most of the event.
