Subcontractor Competence Market

In order to highlight the great challenge of future competence supply, Elmia arrange the Subcontractor Competence Market - a meeting place that not only addresses competence needs today but actively shapes tomorrow's successful manufacturing industry.

Visit Competence by Subcontractor – where the focus is on the technical skills, industrial recruitment and training opportunities of the future. Here you will meet recruitment companies, training providers, students and professionals – all focused on securing skills for the industry of the future. In specially adapted areas in Hall C, you can network, be inspired and find new collaborations around the industry's skills supply.

Raise your skills – on site!

Would you like to take the opportunity to improve your own skills while you are there? Then be sure to visit the seminar stage at Competence by Subcontractor. Here, the various exhibitors at the fair will share their expertise in 40-minute seminars on the manufacturing industry, technical education and skills development. The programme for each day can be found in the exhibition's daily programme, which will be released on 6 October.

Take the time to chat and make new contacts over a cup of coffee in our café. Take the opportunity to exchange experiences, gain new insights and create valuable collaborations that can strengthen your development and that of the industry.
