Contents overview

The focus of the master's seminar is on current and future-oriented topics from the field of technology and innovation management. The main focus is on the design thinking approach, a creative process aimed at solving problems and developing innovative ideas. After a theoretical introduction to the concept, students are then tasked with developing a business idea that solves a current social problem in teams that are as heterogeneous as possible using the design thinking method. At the end of the seminar, each team will then present their innovative business idea in the form of a pitch presentation.
