ABOUT THE FAIR
The "Night of Companies" is a unique career fair that has been held since 2008 at the Technology Center on Europaplatz in Aachen. It is organized by TEMA Technologie Marketing AG, a marketing agency specializing in technology industries with many years of experience in strategic business promotion. The event aims to provide graduates, young professionals, students, and apprentices with an effective platform for career orientation and direct contact with potential employers.
Held twice a year in a compact, one-day format, the Night of Companies brings together renowned companies, hands-on insights, and targeted career development opportunities in an innovative setting. The Technology Center in Aachen serves not only as a modern exhibition venue but also as an active hub for innovation and entrepreneurship. It offers technology-oriented companies, startups, and research institutions a forward-thinking infrastructure, including fully equipped office and laboratory spaces, conference rooms, and shared areas that encourage collaboration and exchange. Conveniently located just a few kilometers from Aachen’s main train station, the venue is easily accessible by both car and public transportation.
A key highlight of the fair is its interactive concept, which focuses on concrete career opportunities presented with thematic depth. The offerings range from apprenticeships and dual study programs to internships and entry-level positions for university graduates. In addition, visitors benefit from practical workshops, professional application support, and free application photos – real added value for anyone looking to actively shape their career path.
One of the event’s standout features is a shuttle service that allows visitors to travel directly from the fair to participating companies. These businesses open their doors exclusively for the event, offering factory tours, employee meet-and-greets, and presentations that provide authentic insights into daily working life. For those who prefer a virtual experience, a VR cinema offers immersive company visits – an innovative feature that especially appeals to tech-savvy guests.
The fair also places strong emphasis on company culture. The “Family-Friendly Companies” competence network showcases employers known for their employee-oriented policies and commitment to helping staff balance work and personal life – a factor that is becoming increasingly important in choosing a workplace.
In sum, the "Night of Companies" offers a career platform unlike any other in the Aachen region. More than just a traditional fair, it is an experience-driven event format designed for forward-thinking talent and committed employers alike.
The Night of the Companies (Nacht der Unternehmen) will take place on Tuesday, 20. October 2026 in Aachen.
