3. Mannheim Executive MBA Graduates Receive International Entrepreneurial Venture Award
Based on their Entrepreneurial Project, which is an integral part of the ESSEC & MANNHEIM Executive MBA and requires students to develop a real life business case, MBS alumni Erol Bozak, Wolfgang Kalthoff and Jörg Wiemer founded their own company shortly upon graduation in 2009. Treasury Intelligence Solutions (TIS) offers innovative and easy to use risk and compliance solutions in the areas of bank account and cash management.

In recognition of their achievements, the three Mannheim entrepreneurs were the first to receive the international Entrepreneurial Venture Award, launched this year by the Association of MBAs (AMBA), one of the three leading international associations for accredited business schools.

The Entrepreneurial Project is a key element of the ESSEC & MANNHEIM Executive MBA program and designed to promote innovation and an entrepreneurial mindset. Students are challenged to transform their ideas into concrete business plans and to apply the cross-disciplinary knowledge they acquire in the course of their program. "Through the Entrepreneurial Project, students give proof positive that they not only understand business imperatives, but are able to act upon them as well", says Professor Dr. Jens Wüstemann, President of Mannheim Business School.
