IFAT India courts young talent

Fun and excitement—that’s the idea behind the new Active Learning Center at IFAT India, India’s leading trade fair for environmental technology. This year for the first time, a special area will be dedicated to training, live demonstrations and skills contests. The aim of the Active Learning Center is to promote talent and to combat the shortage of skilled workers in the Indian environmental sector.

The next IFAT India takes place Sept. 28-30, 2016, in the Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC) in Mumbai. Application documents for exhibitors are available online now.

The Active Learning Center consists of three parts:

  • In University Challenge, teams of students from national universities will put their knowledge to the test designing a “smart city” with intelligent resource management.
  • In Products in Practice, leading experts will give live demonstrations of specific products and machines, on which young people will then be put to the test.
  • A further skills competition is aimed at professionals with a few years’ work experience; it consists of practical training exercises, such as maintenance, process control and safety at work.

The special characteristic of the Active Learning Center is that it is specifically tailored to the needs and requirements of the Indian environmental sector. It is being organized in cooperation with the DWA, Germany’s Association for Water, Wastewater and Waste.

According to the show organizer, Messe München, the environmental market in India has great potential, as underlined by the success of IFAT India in 2015. A total of 136 exhibitors (a 10 percent increase from the previous event) took part in that event.
