A big thanks goes to HHL’s DIGITAL SPACE – The Digital Transformation Platform and the SpinLab – The HHL Accelerator for welcoming the group. One of the highlights surely was the Porsche AG company visit including a thrilling Porsche ride. The week in Leipzig ended with a case study presentation by the students with our Dean Prof. Dr. Stephan Stubner, a rowing boat tour and a farewell dinner at Kaiserbad.
Afterwards, the group spent the second part of the summer school in Prague. The program has been designed by our Manager International Relations Julia Brodacki in cooperation with Prague University of Economics and Business (Vysoká škola ekonomická v Praze) and includes visits to Czech companies such as Skoda or Avast, learning more about doing business in Eastern Europe.
