KSG supports the Paul Award talent competition

Paul Award

Young technical talent is very important to us. We want to get children and young people interested in electronics development and careers in the electronics industry. That is why KSG is also supporting the continuation of the Paul Award talent competition after the first round. In this competition, young people realize their own project idea for an electronic device.

The Paul Award is an initiative of the FED trade association. It is named after the Austrian-British engineer Paul Eisler, the inventor of the printed circuit board. Jürgen Braunsteiner, Area Sales Manager at KSG and regional group leader in the FED, is in charge of planning and implementing the talent competition.

Topic: Using energy cleverly

The competition is open to electronics fans between the ages of 15 and 25: Young professionals, graduates, students, school pupils or trainees who would like to take part as individuals or in project teams. Participants are encouraged to develop and realize a small electronics project based on their own ideas. The topic is intelligent energy storage, transmission or distribution, or smart energy for short. This round also calls for ideas for a device that simply uses energy from the environment, i.e. energy harvesting.

The young talents have until September 1, 2021 to submit their project idea and description. If the project is accepted, the participants have three months to implement their project. The three winners will be announced at a ceremony in Berlin in June 2022 and will win prizes worth a total of 6,000 euros. All information about the competition can be found at Web.
