In the framework of the event, more than 1,400 scheduled interviews took place between graduating students, alumni, and postgraduate students of NTUA and representatives of the participating companies, creating meaningful professional networking and employment opportunities for the new generation of engineers and scientists.
The event was honoured by the presence of the Mayor of Athens and Professor at NTUA, Haris Doukas, who engaged in conversation with students, alumni, and business executives, underscoring the importance of connecting academic knowledge with innovation and production. As he stated: «Serafeio of the Municipality of Athens was transformed into a meeting point between the new generation and the labour market, hosting a significant Career Day of the National Technical University of Athens. Hundreds of graduating students, alumni, and postgraduate students came into direct contact with representatives of 60 leading companies, opening new paths for their professional development.

The strong participation of industry-leading companies and young scientists confirmed the high standard of the Institution’s academic programmes and the significant prospects that open up for our graduates in the Greek and international labour market. Many of the company representatives in attendance are themselves NTUA alumni, which is deeply moving, as it demonstrates that they maintain a meaningful and living bond with NTUA.»
