In order to further advance our training concept and provide more and more children and young people with practical training, we are trying to expand our network. Let us pursue the goal of a sustainable future together and prepare our next generation for the challenges of tomorrow in the best possible way.
Be part of it, because learning should last a lifetime! Let’s do it!
Thanks to these partners, we jointly facilitate events and workshops.
We are networked nationally and internationally with educational institutions and are leading Education 4.0.
It is very important that we connect with each other in a global world. The SMART GREEN ISLAND MAKEATHON is a highlight project with participants from all over the world. Together with the Gerda Stetter Foundation we are initializing further SMART & GREEN Projects to secure Young Talents of the future for the Island and the whole world.

It is to be hoped that the decision-makers of today have derived their insights from the events of the most recent past and have aligned the orientation for the future of the following generation of engineers/masters and managers in the right direction.

I’m always particularly amazed at how highly self-motivated the students are and the resulting willingness to perform in order to complete their project on time. The strategy of the Gerda Stetter Foundation of creating enthusiasm and motivation with cool hands-on projects is exactly the right way to reach children, teenagers and young adults.

Mechanical engineering is changing – Industrie 4.0 and digitalization require a rethink in the area of development methods and processes. There is a need for forward thinkers in Germany and Austria like Dr. Rainer Stetter, who bring a breath of fresh air to partially encrusted structures and inspire young people for technology.

The MathWorks GmbH
With our university initiative “Young Engineers Support”, we support students and lecturers with our products and financial resources. At the SMART GREEN ISLAND MAKEATHON, we can enter into direct dialog with the students. It is exciting to see how our low cost automation products can be used in sustainable solutions.

In our own transformation from a classic manufacturing company to an awarded pioneer for Industry 4.0, it was and is essential to have found a strong partner in ITQ. ITQ’s core competences and the mission of the Gerda Stetter Foundation are more important than ever.

CEO
Lorenz GmbH & Co. KG
The annual ITQ Makeathon events are a motivation for Optima students. The appeal of developing something “new and exciting” in teams and being able to contribute to certain topics of the future spurs the newcomers on to top performance and sparks creativity.

Together with Dr. Rainer Stetter, we launched a decentralized MAKEATHON, which everyone involved was very enthusiastic about. Without his know-how and great commitment from his team, this would never have been possible.
Martin Buchwitz
Managing Director
Packaging Valley Germany e.V.
Currently, we need “makers” more than ever. In our society and at the SMART GREEN ISLAND MAKEATHON, these are the very people who are being ideally challenged and promoted. It is inspiring to see international individuals become energetic, multicultural teams that see, analyze and solve problems together at this event.
