Each semester, we offer students in Information Systems the chance to build their own prototypes as part of the WISEM project. 

Over the course of one semester, you build a digital prototype and develop a first viable business model. You will get full access to all services of PBB to help you jump start your own venture.

We provide 1-to-1 mentorship to help you further develop your prototype, service, product, and business model.

In addition, we offer workshops in small groups so that you can further advance your digital skills or business knowledge.

Among others, these include workshops on:

• User Experience and Frontend Design
• Data Analytics with Python
• Web Development
• Machine Learning Architectures

Follow our Eventbrite site for latest offerings.

In Entrepreneurship with Purpose, students learn about the characteristics of entrepreneurial ventures that are driven by a dual mission: a strong social, societal and/or ecological purpose alongside economic goals.

We provide multiple master courses on the intersection between Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Digital Technology.

Many of which are open for participation across study programs:

• The course Entrepreneurial Design (aka Sustainable Digital Entrepreneurship) introduces students to the basics of digital entrepreneurship and sustainability with a focus on digital ideation and entrepreneurial design. Conducted in a practice-oriented approach, students work in teams on selected problems and develop solutions themselves.
• In the course Disruptive Innovation and Moonshot Design, students delve into disruptive innovations that have a great potential for long term changes, focusing on integrating environmental and social responsibility into economic success. 
• In the course Towards Sustainable Futures with AI students get familiar with concepts and theories that describe and explain AI companies, and learn about the design of Machine Learning-based applications.

The Master's in Sustainable Innopreneurship offers teaching in the field of entrepreneurship and innovation at the interface of digital technologies, society and business as well as sustainability. In small cohorts, students learn problem-solving orientation, idea creation and development, sometimes in intensive teamwork.

Luke and Daniel develop with Cab Guard a digital guardian angel for taxi drivers. Essentially, they want to make it possible to trigger a silent alarm that can be triggered independently of external people, cell phones and vehicles. GPS coordinates are transmitted to the control center at the push of a button. CabGuard thus offers reliable and fast help around the clock and is intended to increase employees' sense of security and enable more efficient alerting of the control center and the police. The product is aimed in particular at self-employed taxi drivers within a cooperative and at taxi companies that want to increase their employee safety.
