The Design Factory Stuttgart Summer Gala 2023 took place on June 29 at our ARENA2036 research campus and was a special event to mark the end of the semester course "Design Thinking - Innovation process in Practice". The event attracted more than 160 guests and featured an extensive exhibition in which students presented their concept prototypes, the solutions for the participating companies' industry challenges.

In addition to the exhibition and the prototype pitches, there was a varied supporting program that included additional offers from the Design Factory in a participatory manner. These included the innovative job dating event"Tindustry", where companies such as Huf, Envalior, Balluff, Sereact, DXC and Spie presented open positions for students and held over 70 speed dating discussions with students.

The evening's other entertainment included a DJ, a mini pool and a food truck, which helped to create a relaxed atmosphere in which guests could network and get to know each other in an uncomplicated way.
