  As an expat spouse in Belgium, I experienced first hand the challenges of social and professional integration for internationals. There are usually enough avenues for social integration but professional integration is often a challenge. Identifying this void, I co-founded Talent Interlock, a start-up specializing in nurturing international talent with training and integration programmes to prepare expat spouses for the Belgian professional market.
