Impetus for industrial change: Prof. Dr. Maik Gude invites you to the International Dresden Lightweight Construction Symposium 2025

Time is running out: As Europe reorients itself and seeks reliable answers to urgent questions around security, infrastructure, and sustainability, lightweight engineering—with its innovative power and cross-sector relevance—is increasingly coming into focus. Along with it, preparations for the 28th International Dresden Lightweight Engineering Symposium are in full swing.

Against this backdrop, Prof. Dr. Maik Gude, Board Member of the Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK) at TU Dresden, personally invites you to the 28th LBS. This traditional forum will once again bring together leading experts from science and industry in Dresden on June 26 and 27, 2025, with the clear goal of discussing and advancing forward-looking solutions for a sustainable and digital industrial society.

Under this year’s theme, “Lightweight Engineering – Sparking Industrial (Re)Ignition,” participants can expect around 60 technical presentations, high-profile panels, and a variety of exchange formats. The accompanying trade exhibition offers additional space for networking, hands-on technologies, and in-depth conversations.

• Note about the accompanying exhibition: A limited number of booth spaces are still available. Further information on exhibitor packages can be found on the website at leichtbausymposium.de. Registration is done via email at: .

We look forward to your registration and to working together with you to set innovative impulses and shape the future of lightweight engineering!
