Brand-new topics

These days, digitization, disruption and big data rank high on the corporate agenda everywhere because the rapid transformation has an impact on all industries.

This structure multiplies the available networking opportunities: you will not only meet colleagues from the MBA, but can also network with other experts in the field. These many different contacts are extremely valuable from a career perspective.
