The Be Basque Talent Network, a brand created in 2015, is the biggest professional network in the world (20,000 professionals from 120 countries and 600 different organisations), made up of people who have or wish to have a connection with the Basque Country. It is a network which offers a great opportunity both to professionals, who can link up with each other and with representatives of Basque companies, and to companies, enabling them to establish relationships with highly qualified talent from around the world.

In an interview given to the magazine, Mr Ivan Jimenez, the Managing Director of Bizkaia Talent, emphasised the service of international professional networking meetings offered by the association, with activities created by the award-winning brand including the Be Basque Talent Meetings and the Be Basque Talent Conferences. Mr Jimenez also highlighted the association’s digital tools such as the Basque Talent Observatory which makes available to professionals real-time data about what is currently going on in the Basque labour market.
