Phoenix Contact

    "Today, our industry is a global technology leader in many areas. This position is based on the innovative power of our companies. The economic importance of technology and technique stands in stark contradiction to its social perception. For many and particularly young people, the natural availability of technology in daily life, however, is not linked to inventive talent and technical professions. It is the responsibility of all of us to communicate the fascination of technology to young people in particular. We must succeed in arousing the interest of girls and boys, who use IPhones and IPods, in the creative design of technology and in corresponding professions. In future, we will then have qualified employees to maintain our global leading position.
 
Phoenix Contact has always attached great importance to education and qualification. Training young people is a particular concern of ours, also in terms of own growth. Our commitment is dedicated to the enthusiasm of young people for technology – and this is what RoboCup communicates. That is why we support the competition."
