China–Europe Cooperation Through Education
The international forum brought together industry leaders, academic representatives, and vocational education experts from nine countries, providing a valuable platform for exchanging ideas, discussing future developments, and strengthening international cooperation in publishing, printing, and packaging.
His presentation, “Future-oriented Cultivation of Printing and Packaging Technology Talents,” emphasised how universities can prepare the next generation of professionals to meet the challenges of digitalisation, technological innovation, sustainability, and the transformation of the global print and packaging industries.
A key message was the value of studying at HdM in Stuttgart, where students benefit from a strong connection between engineering education, applied research, modern printing and packaging technologies, and close collaboration with industry.
Amongst others the forum featured contributions from several distinguished speakers, including:
* Yingxin Chen, Executive Vice Chairman of the Printing Technology Association of China, on development trends and opportunities in China’s printing industry.
* Ailing Yailing Yang, Vice President of Shanghai Publishing and Printing College, on high-quality development in China’s higher vocational education.
