If you work or study internationally – or want to become more internationally connected – Global Minds – Local Meetings (GMLM) is for you.

🎯 Our aim is to build a strong network in the Krefeld region, bringing people together through intercultural exchange and shared perspectives.

🌍 Global Minds – Local Meetings (GMLM) connects internationally minded individuals in Krefeld and the wider region. The first event took place in November last year and brought together over 30 participants from 13 nations.
It focuses on strategic topics, professional impulses, and collaboration on future questions of international cooperation.

The network brings together professionals, companies, and students with international backgrounds who represent key talent for the region.

GMLM offers a professional environment for knowledge-sharing, idea development, and cross-cultural networking.
The meetings create space to combine perspectives, build meaningful connections, and strengthen international cooperation.

The organizers facilitate the exchange by structuring the meetings, providing expert insights, opening access points, and supporting participants in contributing their own topics.
