It's a wrap! 🎉😎
Our volunteers, Anuja and Richel, once again created the perfect setting for an evening of connection and exchange at our last Stammtisch of 2025 at Kunsthauscafé. Global talents came together to meet new people, reconnect with familiar faces, and share their stories over nice conversations. ☕🗣 🤝

These informal gatherings are a reminder of how powerful our community is. Bringing people from different backgrounds together to network, support one another, and build lasting friendships far from home. 💚🌍

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and especially to Anuja and Richel for hosting again with such dedication! 🙌💌

We can’t wait to continue this journey in 2026, welcoming both new and returning members to our Stammtisch! ✨👋

🤩 In the framework of this year’s clubbing event for students, in cooperation with the Federation of Styrian Industries, we were able to grant three international students an exclusive one-year CINT membership. Yesterday, one of the winners visited our office for an inspiring first exchange with our CEO Veronika Wolf. 👏

Meet Nejc:
🌍 From Slovenia, first-semester student of Smart Automation at CAMPUS 02
🚀 Interested in Space Technology and Robotics, open to diverse opportunities
🤝 Motivated to attend CINT events and start building his local professional network
💼 A great example of how international students already contribute to Styria’s future workforce

We look forward to supporting Nejc’s journey for the upcoming year and strengthening the connection between global talent and local employers. 🙌

From Canada to Graz – and off to a great start! ✨🍁
Feel-good Onboarder Anuja had the pleasure of welcoming CINT newcomers Brianna and Simon. 🤝

Starting life in a new country can be equal parts exciting and overwhelming, and Anuja could immediately relate. The trio talked about those early uncertainties every expat knows well, from settling into daily life in Graz to navigating Austria’s administrative maze. 🗺️🗣💡

Anuja shared her personal insights on living in Graz and making the transition smoother. Anuja has already offered a helping hand for anything they might need during their move into permanent accommodation – a true reflection of the spirit behind our onboarding programme. 🏡💚

Here’s to new beginnings, new friendships, and making sure every global talent feels supported from day one. Welcome to Graz, Brianna & Simon! We’re so glad you’re here! 🌍✨

🚘✨ CINT on tour

Our CEO Veronika and Expat Consultant Elise had the pleasure of visiting our member company Nidec Global Appliance in Fürstenfeld. 🤝

Besides engaging in on-site consultations and fruitful exchanges, we were also excited to learn about a future chess board featuring uniquely designed Brazilian and Austrian figures that expat Ronny and his colleague Richard are currently developing. An impressive blend of creativity, cultural storytelling, and technical skill. 💡🙌♟️

We thank Mr Gössinger from Nidec for the invitation and hospitality. Engaging with such talented experts shows how global perspectives enrich both companies and the region. We’re proud to support Nidec’s international team and look forward to many more exciting exchanges. 🌎👏

Following our mission to promote Styria as an attractive business location with many innovative companies and potential employers, we were happy to be back at this year's clubbing event for international students in Graz, in cooperation with the Federation of Styrian Industries. 🪩🎶

This exclusive event brought together international students, professionals, and community members in Graz for an evening of networking, fun, and discovery. 🌟

Veronika and Elise mingled with the crowd of young global talents, who might soon bring new perspectives and energy as potential future highly qualified employees of successful companies located in Styria. It was a pleasure to meet so many interesting people and talk about CINT’s support for expatriates. It was fantastic to see so much curiosity and enthusiasm for what Styria has to offer—whether it’s as a vibrant hub for career opportunities or a welcoming place to stay. ℹ🌍🗣

A highlight of the night was the exciting lottery, from which three lucky winners walked away with a one-year CINT membership! 🎟🎉 We can’t wait to support these three international students on their journey in Styria.

A huge thank you to Industriellenvereinigung Steiermark for the excellent organization and the opportunity to once again promote Styria as an exciting business location. Together, we are building bridges, fostering connections, and showcasing why Styria is a top destination for global talents. 🤝

The online session wasn’t just about facts and figures. It was also an open space for discussions and common questions, empowering participants with a clearer understanding of the Austrian pension scheme and what it means for their future. 💬📊

A heartfelt thank you to the team of BDO for for their time, expertise, and continued collaboration, and to all participants for joining us from their screens. 👏💻

It was an evening full of “aha!” moments, helping internationals better understand how the Austrian pension system works and what steps to take for a secure future. 🧾✅
