TUM School of Management was able to connect with Prof. Dr. Hübner, Chair of Supply and Value Chain Management at the TUM Campus Straubing, to discuss the importance of sustainability within companies and the wide range of opportunities a Bachelor’s degree in Management & Technology with a Specialization in Renewable Resources will provide students.
Green founders face mega-challenges of our society with their business ideas: climate change and resource turnaround. With the Corona Pandemic, a challenge is being added that no one has chosen to face. However, those who want to contribute to more sustainability with their start-up have already decided against the path of least resistance before Corona. The “PlanB – Biobased.Business.Bavaria” start-up competition is now being launched for these start-ups.
Recently, Dr. Marco Aurisicchio, Reader at the Dyson School of Design Engineering at Imperial College London (ICL), visited the Chair of Circular Economy and its head Prof. Dr. Magnus Fröhling at the Straubing Campus of the Technical University Munich (TUM). The reason for the meeting was a planned cooperation between Imperial College and TUM in the field of Circular Economy.
