Norelem, a global manufacturer and supplier of standard components for machinery and automation, has launched a competition to spotlight innovative projects designed by aspiring student engineers this summer.
The competition will give student engineers from universities or colleges across the UK the chance to win a cash prize and the title of Engineering Newcomer 2025.

The winner, along with two runners-up, will share a cash prize of €2,500 (€1,250 for first, €750 for second and €500 for third), as well as provide a platform to celebrate their work across the industry.
‘This is an exciting opportunity for engineering students to showcase the innovations they’re developing as part of their studies, gaining recognition and a cash prize,’ said Martin Ahner, head of norelem Academy. ‘At norelem, we understand the hard work behind these academic engineering projects. We want to celebrate this creativity and encourage the next generation to be proud of their achievements.’

To help make the entry process easier, students can simply follow the steps online, upload a CAD model of their project and fill out the accompanying form.
‘Most engineering students are already working on something great for university or engineering college, or pursuing a passion of their own aside from their studies that they’re proud of,’ Martin continued. ‘With this simplified application process, students can enter their existing projects without the need for additional work to support the application.’

In addition, the norelem Showtruck – a mobile showroom for on-site training – will be coming to the UK in July, offering practical training tailored to the needs of universities and businesses. The Showtruck provides space for 10–15 people, offering engineering students hands-on experience with industry professionals.
