Automotive Topcareer Stuttgart

The Automotive Topcareer is an annual career fair that has established itself since its inception as a key platform for the automotive and mobility industry. The name Automotive Topcareer reflects the event’s focus: “Automotive” represents the wide range of topics surrounding the automobile; “Top” signifies the high standards of quality, innovation, and career prospects; and “Career” emphasizes the event’s dedication to individual professional development.

The event takes place at the Wagenhallen in Stuttgart—an architectural complex with industrial charm that perfectly complements the forward-looking atmosphere of the fair.

The Automotive Topcareer is organized by ifa management GmbH in cooperation with Crain Communications GmbH. The close collaboration between the two project teams ensures a professional and inspiring environment where companies and attendees can connect as equals.

At the heart of the fair are key future-oriented topics in the industry: electric mobility, autonomous driving, connected vehicles (Connected Cars), and alternative propulsion technologies. The fair also addresses current developments in urban mobility, such as car sharing and intelligent mobility services.

A wide range of renowned automakers, suppliers, engineering service providers, and mobility companies use the platform to attract qualified young professionals and specialists. The event targets students, graduates, early-career professionals, and experienced experts with backgrounds in technical and engineering fields—particularly mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science.

A central feature of the fair is the digital matchmaking platform “Talentefinder”, which enables targeted connections between talent and companies ahead of the event. This offering is enhanced by hands-on workshops, resume reviews, and professional photo shoots—providing concrete career planning support for attendees.

The choice of location underscores the thematic alignment of the fair: Stuttgart is considered the cradle of the automobile, where Gottlieb Daimler and Carl Benz developed their groundbreaking concepts. Today, the region is home to global brands like Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, as well as many leading suppliers and research institutions. This deep connection to the industry makes Stuttgart the ideal venue for a career fair like the Automotive Topcareer.

Centrally located, the Wagenhallen are easily accessible by public transport and car alike. As such, the Automotive Topcareer offers not only a high-quality exhibition platform but also a conveniently reachable meeting place for the mobility experts of tomorrow.
