Respire, an innovative cultural integration service for the future expat

How might we support expats who face cultural barriers to complete tasks efficiently and enjoy a better assignment experience?


The young expats are playing an important role in global talent mobility trends. The exchange in skills and culture brings in challenges and also difficulties. We see that technology and data can play a role to fulfil the needs by connecting young expats with their companies and other expats.


Respire is an innovative service for expats to support cultural integration. It is a smart, reliable and caring service which understands the young expat’s pains in handling cross-cultural barriers at work, and the needs to build meaningful contacts.
