Entrepreneurship meets Digitalisation

In recent years, digitalization has also increasingly moved into the area of start-ups and everyday business life. It offers the possibility of recognizing new opportunities and finding creative solutions to problems.

In a constantly changing world, start-ups and companies in particular must be able to adapt quickly to changing market conditions, customer requirements and technology trends. Entrepreneurship should be integrated early on as a cross-sectional discipline and as an asset in the transformation process.

In order to achieve an optimal effect, adapted offers are needed that are integrated into an innovative teaching-learning environment and understand entrepreneurial thinking and action as a future-oriented skill. This also includes networking and the exchange of ideas between people interested in founding a company, start-ups, companies and finances
