Students take part in EUROGUSS Student Day – they sit in rows in a bright event room.

Young Talent Day & EUROGUSS Talent Award 2026

Focus on the future! 

Die casting: More than you think - and you use it every day! 

Whether car parts, smartphones or furniture: die casting is everywhere. And that's exactly why we are looking for the brightest minds to help shape the future of this versatile industry!

More than melting and casting:
Preconception: Die casting is outdated and ‘dirty’. Reality: Your old beverage can could be part of a car part today – lightweight, safe, efficient and sustainable. Discover how die casting brings components back into the recycling cycle. 


Experience high tech live:
Live demonstrations showcase high-tech machines and innovations – from casting to quality control.


Network & help shape the future: 
Make contacts with experts, companies and like-minded people who are passionate about driving the industry forward.
