The Packaging Valley Makeathon 2025 is back – and ITQ GmbH is once again part of it! As an initiator and long-standing partner, ITQ has supported the format since its inception, promoting practical networking between students, start-ups, and the industry. Together with the Packaging Valley Germany e.V. cluster, its member companies, and the Stuttgart Region Economic Development Corporation, we foster innovative and hands-on training for future professionals while enabling a new approach to recruiting.
From October 29 to 30, 2025, around 50 students will develop creative solutions at various locations on the future topics of digitalization and sustainability in packaging machinery. Within 48 hours, interdisciplinary teams will create innovative concepts, first prototypes, and many new connections between young talents and companies.
