This month we bring you news and expert comment on very different regions, highlighting both opportunities and challenges for global mobility: In Africa, a group of nations have created the continent’s largest free trade zone, and in China demand for commercial property is prompting moves underground, while in Europe a ‘two speed’ property market appears to be emerging.

We also reveal the results of recent surveys into skills shortages, ageism and talent management and examine the benefits of an international education.

Don’t miss the Summer 2015 issue of Re:locate magazine (out today), with special Re:locate Awards supplement, examining our fabulous winners in detail.

Exciting news for early July – look out for our forthcoming Europe digital magazine, with its special focus on the serviced apartments sector – and our brand new free Relocate App which will soon be available from the Apple and Android App Stores!
