Digital innovation is disrupting our way of life, our social relations, and the economy at an ever-increasing pace. It is now at the heart of the dynamics of business creation and industry transformation. Therefore, TUM and HEC Paris offer in June 2026 the Summer School “Entrepreneurship & Digital Innovation” for Bachelor students, young professionals and recent graduates.
It is designed for participants who have a curiosity for new business models, an aspiration to work in a group to imagine the value proposition of a digital project, and the desire to experiment and challenge themselves.
The objective of this two-week program is to immerse participants in two essential dimensions of digital innovation: start-up entrepreneurship and industrial transformation. Digital tools are transforming the way a business project is developed. The phases of understanding the market, identifying user problems, ideation, testing a new offer, iteration and launch have been profoundly modified thanks to the new creation methods and digital tools now available.
The program was designed by TUM Institute for LifeLong Learning and TUM School of Management in collaboration with Die TUM Campus Heilbronn gGmbh and HEC Paris.
