2nd Friday
The section KIVI Young Engineers is the organizer of the monthly networking drinks for young professionals and students (shortly before graduation and PhDs) who are interested in innovation and technology.
2nd Friday provides young professionals the opportunity to meet likeminded people in their region, exchange ideas and make connections. All meetings are held in English. Thanks to our sponsors we are able to provide a monthly programme with diverse content, inspiring guest speakers, drinks with finger food and lots of fun.
Looking back at the first half of 2017

Our ambition
Our ambition is to become the number one innovation networking drink for the region Eindhoven / Brainport. We see ourselves as the bridge between companies for young professionals and professionals to be. We believe that mixing groups stimulates innovation. Who knows what might happen!
To make this happen, we’re looking for an extra sponsor. Unfortunately drinks don’t pay themselves. ;) Would you like to brand your company as innovative, young, one of Eindhoven’s pride and on the smartest mile of Europe – the High Tech Campus? Here is your chance! Reach out to young professionals and contribute to inspiration and community building!
For more information, please contact us at 2ndFriday.Eindhoven@kivi.nl.
