Asian Tigers Group Joins SwedCham's Career Fair, Connecting Global Opportunities in Hong Kong

In early November 2023, the prestigious Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) Business School welcomed a vibrant and forward-thinking crowd for the Networking & Career Fair organized by the Swedish Chamber of Commerce (SwedCham). The event proved to be a pivotal experience for students, professionals, and companies alike, creating an energetic space where talent met opportunity and ambition met guidance.

Among the key corporate participants was Asian Tigers Group, proud to stand alongside international brands such as Nasdaq, Business Sweden, and Volvo Buses. This powerful collaboration between companies and career seekers reflected the fair’s overarching mission: to facilitate cross-border career development and cultivate a global mindset among the next generation of leaders.

About the Event: A Launchpad for Global Careers

SwedCham’s 2023 Career Fair wasn’t just a traditional job expo. It was a holistic networking experience designed to connect students, recent graduates, and early-career professionals with companies seeking forward-looking talent. Taking place at one of Asia’s leading business schools, the event emphasized international mobility, industry innovation, and future-ready career paths.

Attendees were treated to a day filled with workshops, presentations, networking sessions, and panel discussions led by corporate executives, recruiters, and industry veterans. The goal was not merely to advertise job vacancies but to provide insightful conversations and practical guidance for those navigating the complex landscape of modern employment.

A Diverse Talent Pool

The fair drew a diverse and energetic mix of participants, including Swedish exchange students, local university students, and young professionals from a variety of academic and cultural backgrounds. This eclectic blend of attendees made for lively conversations and a rich exchange of ideas.

Many of the Swedish students, currently enrolled in exchange programs in Hong Kong or other parts of Asia, were actively seeking internship opportunities in the region to broaden their professional experience. Meanwhile, local students at HKUST and nearby institutions were eager to explore international career trajectories and gain insights into working for companies with a global footprint.

This melting pot of European and Asian perspectives underscored the fair’s unique value: it served as a cultural and professional bridge, reinforcing Hong Kong’s role as a key hub for international business and education.

Asian Tigers Group: Moving Talent, Moving Futures

As a leading provider of international relocation and mobility services, Asian Tigers Group understands better than most the value of global experience. With operations in over a dozen Asian countries and decades of expertise helping individuals and companies relocate across borders, the group is uniquely positioned to advocate for global career pathways.

During the fair, the Asian Tigers booth was abuzz with interest. Attendees had the opportunity to:

• Learn about relocation logistics and international mobility trends
• Explore internship and trainee program opportunities in multiple Asian markets
• Speak directly with HR professionals and regional managers
• Understand the cultural and operational landscape of working in an international logistics and mobility firm

The team also provided guidance on how international relocation impacts businesses, families, and individuals, and how their work plays a vital role in shaping global careers—making them not just movers of goods, but movers of lives.

Workshops and Interactive Sessions

Throughout the day, the fair hosted a series of interactive workshops and themed breakout sessions. Asian Tigers Group participated in panel discussions that explored:

• The future of work in a globalized economy
• How relocation services support international expansion and workforce mobility
• The skills young professionals need to thrive in cross-border roles

Panelists from Asian Tigers shared real-world anecdotes and advice based on their experiences supporting multinational corporations, diplomatic communities, and families relocating internationally.

One highlight was a “Global Career Q&A” led by a regional director from Asian Tigers Singapore, who discussed what employers look for in internationally mobile talent and how candidates can prepare for careers that span continents.

Fostering Future Collaborations

For Asian Tigers Group, participating in the fair wasn’t just about brand presence—it was about creating long-term connections. By engaging with motivated students and young professionals, the company helped nurture future talent pipelines while reinforcing its commitment to corporate social responsibility and regional development.

The team also forged new partnerships with university career offices, student associations, and SwedCham’s corporate network, opening doors to future collaborative events, guest lectures, and internship placements.

The fair’s success highlighted the importance of building relationships at the grassroots level and investing in the next generation of mobile professionals.

Voices from the Fair

Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive. One Swedish exchange student remarked, “I came here not expecting much beyond information brochures. But after talking to Asian Tigers and some of the other companies, I’m seriously considering applying for a summer internship in Southeast Asia.”

A local HKUST student added, “It’s rare to see a career fair that focuses on international opportunities. It made me realize that I can think beyond Hong Kong or even Asia. The idea of working with a relocation company like Asian Tigers, where every project connects people across countries, really inspired me.”

For Asian Tigers staff, the experience was equally rewarding. “This is the kind of event where you’re reminded why we do what we do,” said one team member. “We don’t just move furniture—we move lives, careers, and futures. And today we got to share that story with people who are just beginning their journey.”

The Bigger Picture: Why Events Like These Matter

In a world increasingly defined by global collaboration, events like SwedCham’s Career Fair are more than just professional stepping stones—they are crucial platforms for mindset-building. They encourage students and young professionals to embrace internationalism, cultural intelligence, and adaptability—traits that are increasingly valuable in today’s workplace.

For companies like Asian Tigers Group, they offer a way to inspire, mentor, and connect with future changemakers. By fostering early relationships with globally minded talent, the company helps shape a workforce that’s better prepared to navigate the complexities of relocation, logistics, and global commerce.

Looking Ahead

The success of the 2023 SwedCham Career Fair has paved the way for deeper partnerships and more immersive student engagement. Asian Tigers Group plans to continue its support of SwedCham events and expand its presence at other career development platforms across the region.

With its dual commitment to service excellence and social engagement, the group aims to not only move people physically—but also empower them to move forward professionally and personally.
