‘After working in the field of biotechnology in a pharmaceutical firm in Buenos Aires, currently I am working at Progenika Biopharma (Bizkaia Science and Technology Park) as Project Leader and Senior Scientist. ’Bizkaia Talent helped me with my settling in Bizkaia, mainly with my transfer from Germany. They also helped me with the work permit and other legal issues. I came with my wife, and she got administrative and employment assistance too. ’I think the Harrera relocation service is excellent. While I was still in Germany, they helped me make all the necessary arrangements to have my belongings delivered. I think this service is superb, mainly when it comes to fulfilling all the legal procedures.’
