Henning Rönneberg, CEO of New Work SE: "InterNations has repositioned itself in recent years amidst challenging conditions and boasts a strong, internationally connected community. At the same time, our strategic focus today is clearly on being the leading recruitment partner in the German-speaking world. We are therefore delighted to have found a new owner in FairCap, which will further develop InterNations with its entrepreneurial expertise."
Max Koch-Heintzeler, Managing Partner at FairCap: "InterNations is a strong brand with an exceptional global community. Through 'in-person events', the InterNations network creates authentic experiences that forge much stronger connections between people than digital networking does. We are delighted to add InterNations to our portfolio and to align the company even more closely with profitable growth."
Luca Hirschfeld, CEO of InterNations: "We would like to thank New Work SE for the years we have spent together and for their support in further developing InterNations.
