IdeenExpo 2024

The IdeenExpo 2024 took place in Hanover from June 8-16, 2024. It is Europe's largest youth event for technology and science and takes place every two years in Hanover.

Faculty 3 and the #MOIN project also took part in the joint stand of the University of Bremen, which was coordinated by the University & School Transfer Office, in order to inspire young people and anyone interested in (industrial) mathematics.

History of IdeenExpo

IdeenExpo GmbH was founded in 2007 with the aim of getting young people interested in technology and science and attracting skilled workers to the STEM fields. The company's task is to plan and implement a biennial hands-on and experiential event - the IdeenExpo.

Companies, research institutions, universities and schools take part in the event. The IdeenExpo is financed by contributions from industry and public funding.

IdeenExpo, with its unique concept, is constantly evolving - with success: since 2007, visitor numbers, the number of exhibits and workshops and the event area have multiplied. In 2022, there were over 425,000 visitors from all over Germany and other European countries. This makes the IdeenExpo Europe's largest youth event for technology and science. Its media success is also reflected in the steadily increasing presence in the press, radio, TV and social media. In addition, federal and state ministries are becoming increasingly involved in the IdeenExpo. The continuously growing importance is also reflected in the roadshow, which promotes a visit to the IdeenExpo.

Record broken

Europe's largest youth event for technology and science has set a new attendance record. More than 430,000 people visited the 2024 event. In addition to the number of visitors, the number of exhibitors also set a new record: a total of 310 exhibitors presented the diversity of technical and scientific professions to visitors at the ninth IdeenExpo. This time, there were more than 800 interactive hands-on exhibits to discover in four halls covering 110,000 m² - flanked by 850 workshops.
