Global Minds – Local Meetings (GMLM) is a new international network designed to strengthen exchange among globally minded individuals in Krefeld and the wider region.
It focuses on strategic topics, professional impulses, and collaborative work on future questions of international cooperation.
The network brings together international professionals, globally active companies, and international students who represent key talent for the region.

A space for strategic dialogue and collaboration
GMLM provides a professional environment for knowledge-sharing, idea development, and cross-cultural networking.
The meetings create space to identify needs, formulate questions, and combine diverse perspectives.
The focus lies on building meaningful connections, learning from one another, and advancing international cooperation in the Mittlerer Niederrhein.

A moderated and inclusive framework
The organisers take on a facilitating role: they structure the meetings, open access points, and support participants in bringing in their own topics.
In this way, GMLM fosters diversity, intercultural understanding, and joint problem-solving – enabling participants to position themselves within a growing international community.

Organisational information
The network series continues in 2026 with meetings on 23 April, 3 September and 3 December.
