The Ultimate World of Cutting and Welding in Düsseldorf, Germany, will host the finals of the Official WeldArt World Championship associated with IIW (International Institute of Welding). In the run-up to the event, the championship’s international ambassador network continues to grow: More than 45 well-known figures from the welding community are supporting the competition on its journey to USE 2027.

 Leading figures from the welding community across seven world regions have already joined the global ambassador network. Together, they represent a social media reach of more than ten million followers. Among the network's headline ambassadors are WELD.COM and WeldPorn, two of the best-known platforms within the international welding community. Content creators, professional welders and industry personalities are serving as ambassadors, raising the Championship’s international profile through their networks and social media channels. The network is complemented by an international jury of renowned welding experts and industry leaders.

As the new international trade fair for welding, cutting and related technologies, USE – The Ultimate World of Cutting and Welding will bring together companies, innovations, technologies and industry decision-makers from around the world. By hosting the Official WeldArt World Championship, the exhibition program gains an international highlight that complements USE's strong technology and business focus with the creative diversity of the global welding community while reinforcing its modern, experience-oriented trade fair concept.

Daniel Ryfisch, Director USE, wire & Tube, Metal Forming & Fabrication Technologies, Messe Düsseldorf, comments: “With the Finals of the Official WeldArt World Championship associated with IIW, USE 2027 will feature an exceptional international competition. The fact that some of the best-known voices in the global welding community have already joined the initiative as ambassadors demonstrates the strong international response the Championship is receiving well ahead of its finals. We are looking forward to presenting this unique format to an international trade audience at USE 2027 in Düsseldorf for the first time.”
