Entrepreneurial Leadership Seminar 2018

In the ELS 2018 the participating MSc, MAS and phd students received a unique learning opportunity: a real-life case study on strategy and innovation in close cooperation with Stadler Rail AG, the leading Swiss train manufacturer. They worked on the topics of digitalization, additive manufacturing and automatic train operations, held their final presentations to Stadler's top management and received valuable feedback. Several MTEC professors supported and coached the participants during their learning journey.

Voices from MTEC

Would you recommend this seminar?

«Absolutely yes. I only wish there were more such seminars available for students to participate into. Especially for students with technical backgrounds who wish to follow a more business-oriented professional path, this seminar is a perfect opportunity to understand what strategy means in practice, realize how complex it is to create impact in a corporate setting and test and expose themselves to such a demanding challenge in an otherwise safe learning environment.»
Alexia Economacos, MSc student

«I would definitely recommend this seminar. There is something for everyone to learn in such a setup. The combination of team dynamics, working with a company, and the coaching sessions can´t be found anywhere else.»
Dominik Dumancic, MAS student

«Absolutely! (…) It might be tough, you need to cooperate with people you don’t know, but it is worth any minute as the findings are priceless!»
Anastasiia Bondareva, MAS student

«This project was a very unique training with a completely different learning approach. (…) It is an invaluable experience that I will take with me and remember for a long time.»
