An agreement for a cooperative DTU Master’s degree program in Entrepreneurship, Technology and Innovation Management, known as the ETI-M program, was signed on November 7th with the University of Koblenz-Landau in Germany,
Dr. Le Nguyen Bao, DTU Vice-Provost and Dr. Roman Heiligenthal, President of the University of KO-LD
Dr. Roman Heiligenthal said: “We value the entrepreneurial spirit and educational programs highlighting issues involved in company startups. We provide students with the in-depth knowledge needed to build successful businesses because, today, startups are considered to be a driving force in the country’s development. We help entrepreneurs to perfect their projects and warn them that their work may be very challenging. But setbacks and failures will provide precious lessons for future successes. Our Business Science lectures will explain in detail how to develop sustainable startup businesses.”
Distinguished Teacher Le Cong Co, DTU President and Provost, said: “We are delighted to sign an agreement with the University of KO-LD because it will provide students with a better way to accelerate their startup ideas and plans. If we achieve this, DTU will have made a significant contribution to establishing Danang as a Startup City, in conjunction with the government strategy launching 2016 as “The Year of Startups”.
The University of Koblenz-Landau is located in the city of Mainz, with eight faculties housed on two campuses with excellent study, research and continuing education facilities, teaching Education, Arts and Humanities, Social Science, Science, Computer Science, in Koblenz, and Psychology in Landau. The student population has risen dramatically to 15,000 and the university has sponsored 100 startup projects over the past eight years.
