About Expat Bee & our founding story
Moving to a new country should be an exciting chapter, not an overwhelming challenge. That’s why we built a digital marketplace that acts as a matchmaker between expats, HR managers, and local professionals - making it easier for expats to find the right services to settle into your new life.
Born from personal experience, built for fellow expats
Expat Bee was born out of our founders' personal journey. After relocating from Finland to Italy, they experienced first-hand how complex and frustrating the process could be. Problems were too many to solve alone, and there was no simple way to find local professionals who could help in English.
So, having learned from this, we set out to change that for our fellow expats: We are here to make the expat experience smoother and smarter!
Nordic engineering combined with Italian passion
We currently operate in Italy, with a unique blend of Nordic engineering and Italian passion driving us.
Italy is our home and our first market, but we’re just getting started. As we grow, we’re expanding into new countries, helping more expats around the world.
If you’re outside of Italy and in need of expat services, let us know - we may already have the connections to assist you.
How we help fellow expats on their journeys
With Expat Bee’s AI-powered matchmaking platform, you can post a request for any service you need - from tax advisors to moving companies to family support.
Our system matches you with reputable, experienced professionals who are ready to help within 48 hours. We work with a wide range of experts, carefully vetted and verified, ensuring you receive the highest-quality assistance.
​
Whether you’re looking for help with immigration, taxes, accounting, house hunting, or a complete relocation package, we’ve got you covered.
