Innovation means developing marketable solutions to ensure the long-term success of a company. Business innovation is the development and implementation of new ideas, technologies, processes, products, services and business models. To ensure the success and competitiveness of a company in volatile markets, existing practices and approaches need to be rethought.
This is precisely the aim of our master's in Innovation Engineering - Business Innovation − our students learn not only to develop ideas, but also to put them into practice − with the aim of making the economy and society more sustainable. In the Business Innovation specialisation, you'll learn how to innovate business areas. This will turn you into a generalist with analytical expertise in innovation management.
