WHU Entrepreneurship Center cooperates with Microsoft

The technology giant from the U.S. supports the Entrepreneurship Center and the Start-up Academy for students, which is organized by students.

WHU receives support from Microsoft for its Entrepreneurship Center. The U.S. tech company is involved in the WHU Accelerator Program, in which mentors from companies advise start-up teams and help them develop their business model. Microsoft also provides teaching materials for the master's course "Data Driven Entrepreneurship". This will help master's students learn how to use the "Power BI" tool to transform data into visual dashboards.

Microsoft is also involved in the WHU Start-up Academy. In this, students organize a two-day conference for students in tenth grade and above. They provide students with basic knowledge about start-ups and encourage them to become professionally independent.

WHU Otto Beisheim School of Management is one of the start-up universities in Germany. Fifteen unicorns can be traced back to founders who studied at the private university. Among them are Audibene, Clark, Enpal, Flink, Flixbus, Forto, Hello Fresh, Home24, Jokr, My Toys, Raisin DS, Rocket Internet, Skrill, Sumup and Zalando.
