Technology management

“In our department of Strategic Technology Management, we combine academic excellence with practice-based experience to develop solutions that work in the business world.

Our goal is to prepare companies for current and future technological and organizational challenges. Our work is based on a closely knit, interdisciplinary team that brings together a wide range of perspectives and expertise.

Through close collaboration with academic institutions and industry partners on the RWTH Aachen Campus, the latest research findings are directly incorporated into our projects and complemented by our partners’ expertise. In doing so, we bridge the gap between science and management.”
