IdeenExpo 2024: Salzgitter AG is once again a premium sponsor under the motto #wemakeithappen

29.05.2024 | Corporate Sponsoring


On 8 June, the IdeenExpo 2024 opened its doors and, as a premium sponsor, Salzgitter AG invited schoolchildren to discover the green steel production of tomorrow and to provide visitors exciting insights into the Group.

The aim of the IdeenExpo is to attract skilled workers to the STEM fields, to inspire children and young people to spark an interest in science in children and young people and to awaken an interest in steel as a material.
 

Jens Loock, Managing Director of Human Resources at Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH: ‘As a pioneer in climate-neutral steel production, Salzgitter AG is an employer with a future. Under the motto “#wemakeithappen – We make steel green”, we are offering insights into the various apprenticeships at IdeenExpo and want to inspire children and young people about steel as a material.’

Olaf Lies, the Lower Saxony Minister of Economics, is convinced by the IdeenExpo concept: ‘The IdeenExpo is the central event in Europe when it comes to showing what science can do and how we can inspire young people to take an interest in it. There is simply nothing else like it.’

Visitors were able to try out various interactive experiences such as the SALCOS® roller coaster and the SALCOS® gaming world, and gain a fascinating insight into the many uses of steel.

Salzgitter AG offered insights into the world of work in the various exhibits – whether it was driving a locomotive in the simulator, exploring plant automation as an electrician or making an individual steel rose, where visitors could prove their craftsmanship.
