Looking for Young Welders

The "Young Welders Competition" consists of the DVS National Competition "Jugend schweißt" (Welding Youth) and the "International Welding Competition." "Jugend schweißt" will take place during the first two days of SCHWEISSEN & SCHNEIDEN and serves as a springboard for young talents in Germany aged 16 to 23. Participants will compete in four welding processes: TIG, MAG, MMA and gas welding, demonstrating precision, quality and technical execution. The top performers qualify for the ARC Cup, held annually in China.

Starting on the third day of the trade fair, the "International Welding Competition" will follow in the welding arena, featuring young welders from around the globe. Countries such as Germany, Italy, Bulgaria, Spain, China and Switzerland have already announced their participation.

The awards ceremony for "Jugend schweißt" will take place on September 17 at 2:00 PM at the DVS booth in Hall 3, hosted by Igor Welder, an experienced welding expert and content creator in the industry. On September 19 at 2:00 PM, the winners of the "International Welding Competition" will be honoured.
