Learning from Tech-Start-ups at the TU Berlin

A 30-strong Kurtz Ersa delegation of decision-makers, sales representatives and developers travelled to Berlin at the end of November to attend another edition of the “Hammer Excellence” events. The topic of the workshop was “Corporate culture and speed” – the Centre of Entrepreneurship of the TU Berlin acted as a link and brought four start-ups into play that focus on artificial intelligence, data-driven process optimization or wireless charging.

The four pitches were followed by a creative workshop for the 30 participants, in which cross-company teams dealt more closely with the start-up business models. The workshop showed how important agility and the ability to adapt the business model are. “We wanted to raise awareness of how inspiring and gripping it can be to build something completely new as a start-up – from which even established companies can learn a lot. Many thanks to the Centre of Entrepreneurship and the TU Berlin for making this exciting appointment possible,” said Kurtz Ersa-CEO Rainer Kurtz, who himself studied mechanical engineering at the TU Berlin.
