Testimonials

Abisha Katerere, Head of Marketing and Business Development, Printing SA (South Africa)

The printing industry has traditionally been male-dominated. These events create visibility for women already working in the sector and demonstrate that printing is a viable career path for women across Africa.

Connecting women across the continent allows for valuable relationship-building, creating support networks that can be crucial for professional advancement and business development. By strengthening women’s positions in the printing industry, these events contribute to economic independence and growth opportunities for women-owned printing businesses throughout Africa.

Claudia von Rotz, Head of FESPA committee Switzerland, Verband Werbetechnik+Print

We ensure that up-to-date recommendations regarding standards and regulations, as well as current developments within the industry, are made available to our members. The VWP also bears responsibility for the initial and continuing education of professionals within our fields and ensures that training content is regularly updated to meet current demands. In the professions of screen printing and advertising technology, we are currently facing a shortage of young talent.

For this reason, the Association regularly takes part in SwissSkills – a national event that allows thousands of pupils to explore our vocational profiles in a hands-on environment.

Jacek Stencel, President of PSSiDC (Polish Association of Screen and Digital Printing)

At PSSiDC, we believe that engaging young people through creative initiatives like ‘Young People Colour The World’ is essential for inspiring the next generation of print professionals. In 2025, together with the Polish Chamber of Printing and the Gutenberg Knights’ Brotherhood, we are organising an educational journey for more than 50 students, teachers and lecturers to visit FESPA Global Print Expo in Berlin.

In addition, we regularly facilitate visits to our members’ printing companies and support internships, and apprenticeships for young talent. Through these initiatives, we help nurture skills, foster innovation and build a stronger future for our industry.”
