Our story & mission

At IamExpat Media, we believe that life abroad should be an enriching experience, not an overwhelming challenge. That’s why we are committed to empowering expats with the knowledge, resources and community they need to navigate every aspect of life in a new country. From practical guidance to cultural insights, we help the international community feel informed, connected and at home — wherever they are.

This mission was shaped by our own experiences. The IamExpat founders met, back in the 2000s, as four internationals who had recently moved abroad to pursue their academic and professional ambitions. Settling into life in our newly adopted country, we recognised the need for a platform that not only provides essential information for new arrivals, but also keeps pace with expats’ changing needs as their time abroad lengthens from months into years and they begin to put down roots.

IAMEXPAT MEDIA

The leading media platform for expats

Nowadays, we have grown into the leading English-language media platform for internationals in the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland. We provide up-to-date information, important news, job listings, housing services, events and entertaining articles, all in one place — everything expats need to feel empowered and engaged in their new home.

The IamExpat Fairs

Alongside our online platforms, we bring the international community together in person at the annual IamExpat Fairs in Amsterdam, Berlin, The Hague and Eindhoven — one-day events designed to connect, inform and support expats “of all colours shapes and sizes” as they build their lives abroad.

Since launching, the IamExpat Fairs have connected more than 600 companies with more than 35.300 visitors from 160 countries around the world, and run more than 330 workshops and information sessions, making them the leading fairs for internationals.

Our targeted, international job board

The IamExpat Job board helps recruiters attract skilled internationals and provides expats with a targeted, English-language job board.

By focusing on the unique needs of internationally-minded talent and the employers who seek diverse, international candidates, we make it easier for both sides to find the right match. With a straightforward platform, relevant listings, and a growing community, we help careers move forward and teams grow stronger.

Our rental housing platform for expats

Finding housing is one of the biggest challenges expats face, especially when they're new to a country. From figuring out where to live to understanding local rules and regulations, it can be overwhelming. That’s why we created a platform that makes the process easier — offering rental listings primarily in English, along with expert-written articles, up-to-date housing news, and curated guides tailored to help expats feel informed and confident every step of the way.

Reaching expats of all colours, shapes and sizes

Expatriates are hard to reach via traditional media advertising platforms. IamExpat offers a direct channel to the growing international community of highly educated, multilingual and career-oriented individuals in the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland. With our modern and user-friendly website, ad campaigns are delivered in the most effective and engaging way, across all desktop and mobile devices.
