What will brakes look like in 2025?
FISITA and Daimler have announced a global competition to inspire young engineers around the world to predict what brakes will look like in the future. 30 Daimler Student Innovation Competition winners will each be given €300 to travel to Germany for EuroBrake, the world’s largest braking conference and exhibition, to present their visions of the future to leading engineers from around the world.
This opportunity is part of a special three day programme of activities that will include an exclusive Q&A session with high level industry executives, a private tour of the city and the competition final hosted at the International Congress Centre, to which all 800+ EuroBrake delegates will be invited. Three overall winners will be selected by a team of judges and awarded the competition grand prize of €500 each.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for young people to become engaged with the motor industry. The partnership with Daimler represents FISITA’s long-term commitment to investing in the careers of young people, who we see as the lifeblood of our industry. Showcasing these ideas at our EuroBrake conference in May provides young engineers from around the world with a chance to catch the eye of leading industry figures," comments Chris Mason, Chief Executive, FISITA.
The Daimler Student Innovation Competition is now open. The deadline for applications is Tuesday 31st March 2015.
