This week was once again very eventful for our third semester at the TH Aschaffenburg. Our budding digital real estate managers heard from PropTech METR how the team manages and scales agile projects. And our business economists with a legal focus heard from ADTELLIGENCE how their digital business model works.

Last week one of my master students, Christina Demski, presented her research question and master thesis approach to our engineers at the TH Aschaffenburg University of Applied Sciences. Well done, and good luck with your further execution. #studentsuccess #university #research #artificialintelligence #realestate

Today our digital business modelers learned from CFO Thomas Festerling at GreenTec Capital Partners: https://lnkd.in/dWzSWHNm. He explained how his company invests in tech startups with impact. It is fascinating how the company builds bridges between Africa and Germany and supports founders with networks, funding, and tech knowledge. Great opportunity for our business administration and law students. #impact#digital#businessmodels#thaschaffenburg#economy#law#finance

Yesterday Gabor Szomszed and Torsten Eder working for the PropTech KUGU explained how they manage hybrid projects with the help of the JIRA software. This was an add-on session for our Bachelor students in the course economics and in the course digital property management. Thanks for the great insights. Due to the video recording many students are able to watch the insights. #insights #proptech #digital #propertymanagement #economics #thaschaffenburg #practitioners

Happy to announce my new book chapter in the mind-blowing project AbilitytoAct from E Sengers MA. It’s about a global education format for sustainable innovators creating circular solutions. You can buy the ebook for 10€ on this website: https://abilitytoact.com/buy.

Here is the intro to my chapter: “The following chapter builds on the article Dryver’s Seat from Erwin Sengers. He asks for higher education programs that train future self-directed entrepreneurs with the right attitude and the ability to think critically and control their actions. To master this challenging task, Erwin asks for conscious trainers who are innovators themselves. Innovators can ask the right critical questions, connect seamlessly unconnected information, and experiment. The following article is a first step towards raising the awareness of these new trainers and giving them methods, tools, and inspiration to develop sustainable innovators who think holistically. Innovators are the proportion of entrepreneurs who do not copy or optimize what exists but commercialize new technologies or new ideas. Circular innovators are the doers who create systemic innovations solving our current social and ecological crisis.” – Prof. Dr. Sabrina Schork
