We invite you to join us at this year’s Innovation Gala!
To participate at the event, we kindly ask you to register.
We are pleased to welcome Professor Kalevi Ekman from Finland as a keynote speaker. He heads the ‘Product Development’ department at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Aalto University. Ekman has been dealing with the question "How to educate the best product developers in the world" for 25 years.
Five student teams will then present their product developments for our industrial partners Andritz, Kässbohrer Pistenbully, OMV, Palfinger and TDK.
In the ‘Product Innovation’ university course, 25 students will be given specific challenges by the companies as well as a budget and plenty of mentoring.
Further information on the course can be found here.
We are looking forward to welcome you at the Innovation Gala 2025!
