The digital knowledge migrant:
Your remote specialist

Take the example of Innovatec from Asperen, a specialist in incubators that has grown exponentially in recent years. With an increase in orders came the need for experienced engineers. “Through the WorldEmp platform, we have had successful collaborations with highly skilled foreign professionals since 2019,” says Steven Hummel, Engineering Manager at Innovatec. “Our digital knowledge migrants work remotely but are just as involved as the colleagues here in the office.”

Prof. Dr. Maarten Steinbuch, Professor of Systems and Control at Eindhoven University of Technology and a member of WorldEmp’s advisory board, emphasizes the urgent need for specialized knowledge in regions like Brabant. “Brabant is one of the most innovative regions in the Netherlands, with a strong focus on high-tech and smart industries,” says Steinbuch. “The challenge lies in attracting enough qualified personnel to realize the growth ambitions of companies.”

Steinbuch sees digital knowledge migrants as a crucial solution to this challenge. “Employing international specialists who work remotely can play an important role in filling the knowledge gap that currently exists in the region. It enables companies to respond flexibly and quickly to the demand for highly qualified personnel without the limitations of a physical location.”
