Timeline
Main Event on July 7, 2026
The event is composed of two areas of activities. Expected number of participants are 150 - 200.
Presentation Area
Student groups are giving presentations responding to real business problem settings - “Challenges” - given to them in April and May by interested AHK Japan member companies as Talent Challenger. This time, student teams of various age groups participate, ranging from high school students to graduate students. Their fields of studies are Marketing, Informatics, Sustainable Business, Japanese Management, German language and culture.
Exhibition Area
Member companies participating as a challenger have the chance to present themselves at table-booths. With 100+ students attending the event, this talent challenge provides a unique opportunity to connect with students and universities in a more private atmosphere aside from common large-scale job fairs.
