The 28th International Dresden Lightweight Engineering Symposium: Register now and secure your place!

From June 26 to 27, 2025, Dresden will once again become the center of one of the most significant gatherings for researchers and industry pioneers in the field of lightweight engineering. Under the theme "Lightweight Engineering – Sparking Industrial (Re)Ignition," the International Dresden Lightweight Engineering Symposium serves as a melting pot for scientific ideas that drive impulses for industrial innovation. As an international forum bringing together experts from around the world, this year's symposium is further enriched by our partner country, India.

Europe stands at a turning point: A look at recent developments across the continent shows that issues such as security and infrastructure move from the shadows into the spotlight. Familiar concepts are increasingly reaching their limits, while new impulses are needed to elevate technological and economic progress to the next level. Against this backdrop, the significance of lightweight engineering as a key technology continues to grow steadily. As an interdisciplinary interface that transcends material, technology and industry boundaries, it not only provides solutions to the challenges of the future but also unlocks entirely new perspectives through the integration of digital technologies.
Once again, the Lightweight Engineering Symposium serves as a hub for dialogue, innovation and industrial momentum – with the clear goal of driving sustainable value creation in our region and beyond. It fosters cross-industry connections, provides in-depth insights into the latest material and process technologies, explores innovative engineering methods and presents market-relevant project outcomes.

In around 60 expert presentations and high-profile panel discussions, international specialists from around the world will address the pressing questions of modern multi-material lightweight systems engineering.
Join this exclusive network of experts from academia, politics, and industry who are actively shaping the future of lightweight engineering. Secure your Early Bird discount until April 15 and register now at www.leichtbausymposium.de!
