Diploma Supplement on Innovation Alumnus 2016, Co-Founder and COO of byrd technologies GmbH
The Diploma Supplement on Innovation is the only sensible way at TU Wien to learn and practice entrepreneurship. Its combination of theory, exercises, and hands-on projects was highly valuable for me – I recommend it to anybody having interest in implementing their own ideas.
