UNITECH International’s value proposition revolves around a highly-selective scheme, supported by member universities and companies, targeting a diverse group of high-potential engineering students across Europe to fast-track their development towards impactful roles in industry globally.

In addition to Grundfos’ existing talent development and outreach programmes globally, UNITECH will provide access to a complementary talent stream that comprises new UNITECH graduates and a pool of over 1,000 UNITECH alumni that have taken leadership roles in industry.

“Our engagement with UNITECH International is deeply rooted in our company values that include forging meaningful partnerships and being relentlessly ambitious. The UNITECH ecosystem is uniquely positioned to champion a new way of doing business. We see this collaboration as a platform to exchange and share best practices with industry peers and universities on many themes that are relevant to our transformation including, but not limited to, sustainability, innovation and digital transformation,” says Moncef Tanfour, Group Vice President Strategic Development & IMO, and UNITECH Alumnus, who will act as the main Grundfos representative.
