The cooperation with GBS is very important for us.Our mission as the House of Digital Transformation is to link science, businesses and politics. We run a large high-caliber network in these sectors. We have renowned members like Fraunhofer Institute; the Universities in Darmstadt, Kassel and of course Frankfurt; small and large companies from start-ups to big sharks like Accenture or Software AG; and of course the ministries and government. So, it makes sense to intergrate GBS as high-end business school with its network and high-profile teachers and lecturers on academic level, ensuring excellence in theory and its application to practice.
