About The Bridge
The Bridge Club was founded in Moscow in 2023 by Guy Eames and Michael Gibson as a unique space where expats from across Russia and internationally minded Russians could come together to network, relax, have fun, and learn something new.
What began as a simple idea — a meeting point for people with a global outlook — quickly grew into a vibrant community.
By 2025, with a strategic merger with Moscow Connect and the arrival of British entrepreneur Philip Hutchinson to the leadership team, the next chapter began: The Bridge 2.0.
Today, The Bridge 2.0 is more than just a club. It’s a platform with a vision — to scale beyond Moscow and build a global brand where international connections, cultural exchange, and professional opportunities all intersect.
Whether you’re here to make friends, expand your network, or discover fresh perspectives, The Bridge 2.0 is your gateway to a world without borders.
At its heart, The Bridge is about community. What began as a gathering place in Moscow has grown into a network where internationally minded people — expats, entrepreneurs, and globally connected Russians — can come together to share ideas, build friendships, and support one another.
Our membership portal is the digital extension of that vision. It connects members across borders, giving them access to exclusive events, professional opportunities, and shared resources. Whether it’s joining a discussion group, collaborating on a project, or simply finding like-minded people in a new city, the portal makes sure the Bridge community is always just a click away.
With The Bridge, we’re creating more than a club — we’re building a global brand that brings people closer, no matter where they are.
Membership unlocks the world of The Bridge, and our members are at the heart of everything we do
