Relocation in Israel - It's More Than a Trend - It's a Need
As "Forbes" identified in 2020, Israel has become one the leading Hi-Tech countries in the world. Numerous publications and even heads of states refer to Israel as the "Strat-Up Nation", or humorously as the "Silicon Wadi". The reasons for the meteoric climb in Hi-Tech related jobs and positions that originate in Israel are rooted in a unique combination of resources: higher education, the widespread use of English and the straight forward, "not beating around the bush" attitude that has become a staple of Israeli cloture. The Israel hitech sector has been rapidly growing, with employment in the industry now exceeds 300,000 workers, representing 8.7% of the country’s workforce. As the job growth continues to grow stronger, with surging demand for talent outpacing the supply of qualified workers, many local and international organizations that are based in Israel are looking for various relocation and real-estate solutions.
Even the world changing events of 2020 and 2021 have not slowed down the demand for relocation solutions - from traditional to out-of-the-box creative ideas for transporting and housing employees who arrive to Israel and require corporate housing solutions. The past few years have proven that mid-term relocation has become a popular and effective working method for various global organizations who find themselves in need for high quality corporate housing solutions. This also implies to other factions of international businesses operating in Israel as well: the Monorail project, for example, is a nationwide, fifteen year project that requires an ever adapting personnel mobilization. Another example is the content industry, with an emphasis on streaming services productions that come to Israel regularly to produce original content.
When it comes to corporate housing, whether coming to Israel for a long-term stay or a short visit, intentional organizations require the best solutions. The demand for quality, comfortable and even exciting real-estate properties in key locations in Israel is in surge, as Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, Herzliya, Ra'anana, Ashkelon and Be'er Sheva has become the leading cities that house corporate figures, while working in Israel. The combination of welcoming warm weather, Israel being a Mediterranean Sea Shore country and the various culture and leisure opportunities all make corporate housing in Israel a key factor in keeping an organization's employees happy and comfortable.

New Member Focus: “NSEW Mobility - Hungary’s Best Kept Relocation Secret!”
For NSEW Mobility, joining EuRA was the next logical step in the growth of a successful company that has previously chosen to remain the best secret in relocation services in Hungary.
With a history of excellent service to several large corporate and industry clients, Budapest headquartered, NSEW Mobility, prefer to take one step at a time. “Too many companies overstretch their customer service and finances in a rush to win more business and end up letting customers down,” says Brigitta Ferenczi, the leader of the relocation team at NSEW Mobility. “We have a company culture of steady growth that allows us to maintain our reputation for quality and accuracy in everything we do,” she added.
That attention to detail is applied across the range of services provided by the multilingual team:
• Visa and Immigration • Arrival & Departure Services • Home and School Search • Tenancy Management • Ongoing Assignment Support
From Visa and Immigration to Arrival and Departure Services and everything in between, the NSEW Mobility team apply a proven approach to their work. Brigitta calls it “process with personality”. Their work is founded on planning and accuracy, she explained. “Without a detailed plan of meeting a specific customer’s needs, you are lost,” said Brigitta. “We have great relationships with our customers and government authorities, but the relationship with customers and local authorities grows from a foundation of trust in meeting expectations and standards.”
In terms of geography, NSEW Mobility serves all of 93,000 square kilometers that make up the country Hungary. Budapest clearly represents most of the relocation activity in the country. Home to the headquarters of some of the largest banks and companies, the city is a leading financial center and one of the most beautiful and livable places in Central and Eastern Europe.
But some customers are also exploring other Hungarian cities. “We are currently working on a project in Debrecen, Hungary’s second largest city,” explained Brigitta.
For the team at NSEW Mobility, the chance to expand relationships through EuRA is an exciting time. “For the team it’s a great challenge,” said Brigitta. “We understand that industry associates have a choice of suppliers in Hungary. We look forward to showing why we are their best choice. At the end of the day, our reputation for the quality of our work and speed of communication will be our best advert.”
About Brigitta Ferenczi - From Gymnastics to Relocation
As the leader of the relocation team at NSEW Mobility, Brigitta Ferenczi knows a thing or two about hard work, planning, and working with others. Born in Budapest in 1986, as a young girl, Brigitta represented Hungary as an acrobatic gymnast for several years at European and World Championship level events. After finishing university with a BA in Economics, Brigitta spent time in the travel industry in Turkey before returning to Budapest in 2016 and joining the growing relocation business at NSEW Mobility. In 2019 she was appointed leader of the business.
Based upon her experiences living in other countries, Brigitta appreciates the stress and challenges that are faced by customers and translates that understanding into both empathy and communication to remove the administrative burden from the client.
With a strong interest in Hungarian culture, Brigitta and her team like to provide a positive first impression to foreign customers arriving in the country. Making them feel at home as soon as they arrive, customers often refer to her staff as “their first trusted friends in Hungary”, a relationship they seek to maintain long after the customer is settled.
When she is not working, Brigitta enjoys watching soccer (a game she modestly says she is too clumsy to play) along with painting and cooking. When summer comes, Brigitta can be found hiking or on the water, rowing or paddle-boarding.
Expats know Expat’s needs
MW Expat Solution Services GmbH was formed by the managing director Matthias Wolf and Markus Lampert to meet the needs of the evergrowing expat community in Germany. Based in to Munich and in the center of Berlin, with its network of partners reaching the whole of Germany, MW Expat is perfectly situated to offer professional insurance solutions and pension savings schemes to Germany´s ever growing expat community. As an independent insurance broker, MW Expats works together with all the major insurance companies represented on the German market today. This places the company in a position to find the insurance cover that most suits the client’s needs at the best possible value for money. Within MW Expat are more than 30 years of experience in dealing with all aspects of expat clients and are very successfully working with relocation firms to the advantage of their mutual clients. “From our experience so far, collaboration with partners has been beneficial to both parties and we have always been able to agree terms without issue. We believe that the most important feature that we can offer is the knowledge that our clients are in good hands and that we strive to find the best possible coverage for the - which is not necessarily the most expensive”. It can be very difficult for someone arriving to decide which risks are really relevant and in which areas added protection and security is needed. Coupled with a different language and culture and on top with a complicated insurance system, means that very few expats actually obtain the insurance cover that they really need. Whilst they have other things on their minds such as a new job or finding somewhere to live, so they often take the path of least resistance and end up with insurance cover that is completely unsuitable to their needs or just too expensive. This is where MW Expat comes in and offers their helping hand. “We take the time to explain this fully and help clients from initial advice to the filling out of application forms, whilst at all times making sure the client understands the process.” MW Expat employs almost 30 people from 13 different nations, so we are able to understand the wishes of our customers and proudly carry our claim: Expats know Expat’s needs.
