Mission IT 2026: 15 young female agents enthusiastically at work at BEX Components AG
This year, BEX Components AG was once again the scene of a special mission on Girls’ Day: 15 motivated participants immersed themselves in the world of information technology under the motto “Mission IT”. Demand was high – all the places were quickly filled and we were delighted to see a full turnout with no cancellations.
From 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., the girls were treated to a varied program that not only offered insights into technical professions, but above all invited them to join in. Strengthened with buttered pretzels to start with, the program got underway straight away: the participants explored the structure of laptops and a server with great curiosity and were able to use the knowledge they had gained to skilfully reassemble laptops that had been taken apart. Another highlight was the development of their own little game – a step into the world of programming that generated real enthusiasm among many.
The girls’ great interest was particularly impressive: Some already brought considerable prior knowledge with them, while others discovered their enthusiasm for IT for the first time. The focus was always on having fun trying things out, tinkering together and exchanging ideas.
A special highlight: the exclusive Mission Impossible photo shoot! Each participant was able to feel like a real secret agent for once – including an individual agent photo as a souvenir of an unforgettable day.
Of course, there was no shortage of refreshments either: everyone enjoyed pizza at lunchtime, and sweets provided additional energy in between – the best conditions for an all-round successful day.
But Girls’ Day is more than just an exciting event for us: with “Mission IT”, we want to make an active contribution to breaking down social barriers and getting young girls interested in technical professions. Particularly in areas such as IT, where women are still underrepresented, it is important to us to spark interest at an early age, boost self-confidence and show prospects. By providing insights and encouraging people to try things out, we are making a small but important contribution to more equal opportunities and diversity in the world of work.
The enthusiasm, team spirit and commitment of our young female agents impressed us once again this year. We are already looking forward to the next mission!
