WHAT IS THE IEXPO?
iExpo is an event where you can showcase your projects, research, business ideas, and, last but not least, your personal competencies and presentation skills in the form of a reverse job fair.
Furthermore, the event provides a great opportunity for companies seeking future employees to get to know you and potentially offer internships or job opportunities.
As part of the event, you will need to create a poster presenting your work. Experts will provide feedback and evaluate your work, presentation, and project. Concise and impactful presentations are preferred. IMPORTANT: Inviting experts to your stand is part of the task. Be open and don't hesitate to approach them!
At the conclusion of the event, we will award scholarships and tangible prizes to the students or student teams who have accumulated the most points and demonstrated outstanding performance, which are sponsored by our corporate partners.
