The Networking Forum takes place each year at the end of the competition week. It gives candidates who are not selected for the finals, as well as finalists who didn’t win a scholarship or an apprenticeship, an opportunity to meet directors or representatives of schools and companies from all around the world.

In 2016, 32 partner institutions were represented at the Networking Forum. Directors or representatives of schools or companies carried out 156 interviews, during which they met with the candidates they were wishing to recruit. At the end of the day, 45 candidates received on average 3 or more offers.
