It is no secret: there is a significant shortage of technical talent in today’s world. Companies therefore need to step up their efforts to attract young talent. During the TU/e Career Expo, the largest business fair in the Netherlands, companies get in touch with students. A special corridor has been set up for innovative start-ups and scale-ups.

  • The Career Expo will take place in March. Companies wishing to participate can still register.
  • Brom Mechatronica participated last year and will be on the exhibition floor again next year.

The Career Expo, which takes place on 5 and 6 March 2024 at TU Eindhoven, has welcomed a diverse group of companies in previous years, from Bol to ASML. Dozens of start-ups are also present.

The Innovation Hallway

The Innovation Hallway, found on the connecting bridge between the Auditorium and Atlas buildings at the university, is a unique part of the Career Expo. This space is specially designed to introduce tech students to innovative, young companies. Here, tech start-ups and scale-ups can showcase what they have to offer.

Brom Mechatronics and students

Brom Mechatronics was present at last year’s event and will again be found in The Innovation Hallway next year. The company develops and builds innovative mechatronic solutions for various sectors, such as semiconductor/photonics, energy transition, agriculture and education and research. The company helps start-ups scale up their innovative ideas. For instance, they work closely with Trabotyx and SolidToo, among others.

Kristel Reisner, working at the company: “The expo is a pond of young talent. This year too, we are looking forward to introducing new promising talents to Brom Mechatronics to ultimately convince them to join us.”

TUebot

Since its establishment, Brom Mechatronics has had close ties with students. A striking example of this are the ‘TUebots’ – robots that teach students how to programme and where they can bring control technology into practice. There are internship and graduation opportunities within the company.

Reisner is convinced that students can learn a lot at Brom Mechatronics. “On both a personal and technical level. That’s because we let our employees do everything themselves, from design to assembling the machine.” Our employees take and are given a lot of responsibility. In this way, you create freedom, increase job satisfaction and, above all, come up with innovative solutions.

For companies interested in participating in the Innovation Hallway: they can register here until 17 November.
