VDMA Young Talents visit Messe Düsseldorf
10 September 2025
On 9 September 2025, the German Engineering Federation ( , VDMA) visited Messe Düsseldorf with a group of students and apprentices. The participants are part of the ‘Young Talents’ initiative , which was launched by the VDMA to specifically introduce young talent to the plastics and mechanical engineering industries.
The visit centred on an in-house workshop and an exclusive guided tour of the exhibition grounds – including a stop at the site where the VDMA Forum “The Power of Plastics” will be set up in the outdoor area during K 2025. The participants were also given a behind-the-scenes look at the preparations for the trade fair.
A highlight: From 9 to 14 October, a special Young Talents Panel will take place daily at the VDMA Forum – featuring perspectives, projects and discussions on starting a career and the future of the industry.
