Target Group and Application Processes

This Minor is for you if you want to develop an interdisciplinary and adaptive understanding of innovation and learn how to turn insights from your own field into impact‑oriented, responsible solutions.

If you are motivated to explore, experiment, and create meaningful impact, and you see yourself taking on responsibility in the innovation economy, stepping into a leadership role in the corporate world, contributing to the public or non-profit sector, or founding your own start-up, this program gives you the mindset, skills, and academically grounded understanding to develop and implement new ideas and turn your vision into impact.
