Innovation processes present challenges and opportunities for a range of different organisations, such as established firms, new entrepreneurial firms, universities and government agencies. Industry, as well as society, therefore need managers and employees who not only have scientific and engineering training but who also have acquired a thorough understanding of the innovation process and how it can be handled in a financially successful way.

At the intersection between technology, management and economics, the overall purpose of the programme is to train you to skillfully analyse and manage innovation and renewal. After having completed the programme, you should be able to:

  • Analyse and understand how and why innovations, technical and scientific information and knowledge interact with market and economic forces.
  • Identify, formulate and solve problems related to innovation and renewal activities involving technological, economic, organisational and institutional change.
  • Handle and execute strategies and practical implementation for innovation and renewal by applying state-of-the-art research and management methods and tools.
  • Lead, interact and communicate with qualified professionals within and outside their own organisations and/or their own knowledge field.
Together with committed teachers, that include you as a student in their research and students from various engineering disciplines, this programme creates a base for developing yourself and your ability to lead and develop organisations. In addition, you learn and use tools and frameworks for developing new technologies into viable businesses.
