inova Ilmenau

The "inova" career fair at the Technical University (TU) of Ilmenau is a prestigious career event that has steadily grown in significance since its inception in 1996. It has established itself as one of the leading career-focused events in Germany. Organized by SWING at the TU Ilmenau e.V., the fair usually takes place annually in October, right on the TU Ilmenau campus.

The "inova" fair provides students with the unique opportunity to engage directly with carefully selected companies. These companies are not just there to scout for skilled professionals, but also to highlight their own values and offerings. It offers students the chance to have personal conversations, evaluate their career prospects, and gain valuable insights into the professional world.

What sets "inova" apart is its comprehensive approach. Besides the opportunity to conduct job interviews on the spot, attendees can also participate in company presentations, get their application portfolios reviewed, and have professional application photos taken. All these services help ensure that students are fully prepared for the start of their careers.

The location of the fair, the Technical University of Ilmenau, plays a pivotal role. As one of the most esteemed technical universities in Germany, the TU Ilmenau offers an impressive academic environment, making it the ideal venue for such an event.

However, what truly distinguishes "inova" is the fact that it's organized by students for students. This lends the fair a unique dynamism and a close connection to its target audience. Students are at the forefront, empowered to actively shape their career paths.

The inova will take place on 2 days from Tuesday, 28. October to Wednesday, 29. October 2025 in Ilmenau.
