ATEC 2022
The day of the congress was filled with inspiring talks and panels on how technology can make an impact towards a better future for society. Next to the event, a matchmaking session between business talent from Maastricht and deep tech-focused startups from Aachen was organized. UM students met RWTH students working on applications ranging from solving loneliness to building new satellites in space, training models for self-driving cars, and immersive models for new sustainable production lines. Few UM students were able to secure a summer internship at some of the startups.

'Now that our cities already share an airport (Maastricht-Aachen), why not start looking into bringing the skills of our two universities together as well and support new startups responding to the challenges of our time? We are very grateful for the opportunity that RWTH has provided to our students and we look forward to invite our partners from Aachen to Maastricht as well.' – Jermain Kaminski, Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Maastricht University
