STUDENT DAY
Successful networking: STUDENT DAY brings companies and young talent together. FACHPACK organized STUDENT DAY together with the German Packaging Institute (dvi) on 25 September 2025 in Nuremberg.

At the invitation of FACHPACK and the German Packaging Institute (dvi), over 60 students from German-speaking countries met with professionals from seven to ten packaging companies and brand owners to exchange ideas about the requirements of the future and to work on specific issues in workshops. In addition to the main topics of sustainability, both sides focussed on establishing valuable contacts.
Bringing the right people together is the expertise of NürnbergMesse and the dvi. This applies not only to current stakeholders along the value chain, but also to those who will continue to write the packaging success story tomorrow and beyond. STUDENT DAY 2025 was an important cornerstone of the young talent programme.
Past dvi student conferences have impressively demonstrated that such initiatives pay off and are met with strong interest from universities, students and companies. It is no coincidence that there are specialists among the company representatives who got to know their current employer as students at the STUDENT DAY last year or the year before last and are already doing significant work today. This is what real success stories look like.
In 2025, a FACHPACK trade fair rally, a meet & greet and workshops took place as part of the STUDENT DAY.

‘The Student Day was an enriching experience for me! It was particularly exciting to gain insights into the various companies - it really gave me new perspectives for my professional future. It was super inspiring to exchange ideas with other students, develop ideas together and make new contacts. I can only recommend the day! It not only opened new doors for me, but also gave me the feeling of being part of a great, motivated community.’

‘Student Day 2024 was a very enriching event for me. I was able to expand my knowledge and make valuable contacts with companies. I particularly enjoyed the exchange with the other students. The dialogue during the workshop helped me to broaden my thinking. The interactive elements of the practical exercises made the event even more attractive. I now have a clearer idea of what area I would like to work in later.’

‘The Student Day was an enriching day that gave me valuable insights into large companies and where I was able to discuss exciting issues with other students from all over Germany. It was a particular pleasure to meet both familiar and new faces and to expand my network in a targeted way. The discussions with the company representatives not only showed me what expectations are placed on future talents, but also opened up exciting perspectives for my own career. These experiences are motivating and a clear advantage for my studies and my later entry into professional life. I can really recommend the Student Day to anyone who wants to experience a varied and future-orientated day!’
