What are the current challenges that the specialization area covers:
- Digitization is opening up entirely new opportunities for innovation. The global tech startups (e.g., Facebook, Google, Amazon, Netflix) are among the most profitable companies in the world.
- Germany is one of the best economies in the world, but it has some catching up to do in international technology competition. With innovative startups, we can catch up!
- However, self-employment is not just a lifestyle, but also places high demands on personality and competence.
- Start-ups often fail unnecessarily due to an inadequately thought-out business model.
As a result, there is a rapidly growing need for experts who have their own ideas and can implement them, or who can support and advise prospective company founders in implementing their ideas.
