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.

Other entertainment highlights of the evening included a DJ, a mini pool, and a food truck, all of which helped create a relaxed atmosphere where guests could mingle and get to know one another in a casual setting.
