Over the course of the past year, a group of students has been engaged in raising the awareness for the importance of novel technologies for business success among the WHU student body. The initiative now gained the official status of a student initiative at WHU as Business Meets Tech (BMT) - The WHU Tech Initiative!  I am happy to support the initiative as academic advisor. Congratulations to the team - I wish to all involved a successful start and many interesting activities! The BMT team intends (1) to transfer knowledge through Tech-Workshops and the BMT Coding Club, (2) to offer industry-insights through Tech-Tours, and (3) to expand WHU business school’s network by contacts and networking opportunities into related technology industries.
