in its students and alumni who without exception are individuals of great
dedication and initiative. One of the recently established student-led
initiatives at our institution, which we would like to introduce today, is
the MBS TechBusiness Club. Led by students of the Mannheim MBA program,
the club aims to provide a platform for MBS students, alumni and faculty
interested in technology-driven businesses so that they stay connected
with the rapidly changing technology in different functional sectors and
gain insights from the expertise of fellow members.
Exploring new
ideas and opportunities is also what led them to organizing an event at
Deutsche Bank on Friday, April 8, 2011, where club members had the chance
to discuss and present some of their ideas to Deutsche Bank
representatives.
