Transfer between science and industry – actively shaping entrepreneurial future
Thanks to our many years of cooperation with companies from a wide variety of sectors, we know what challenges lie ahead in the coming years. As a research institute at the School of International Business and Entrepreneurship (SIBE) at Steinbeis University, we focus on the transfer between science and business - because accumulating theoretical knowledge alone is not enough to set the course for a company‘s future. With our research formats tailored to the requirements of the company, we put this knowledge into practice and support you as a competent partner for the implementation of innovative corporate strategies.More about SISP
