Dear international students, The Center for Digital Technology and Management (CDTM) together with EIT Health (European Institute for Innovation and Technology) is offering you the chance to apply for the course “Health Business Lab“. Throughout twelve weeks, you will work in an interdisciplinary and international team of 4-5 exceptional students to develop new business strategies for the health sector. Starting from a challenge statement by your health industry project partner, you apply consulting skills and entrepreneurial knowledge to solve strategic problems or assess entrepreneurial concepts.

The process is accompanied by high profile lectures by leading experts and course instructors. As part of the EIT Health Network, you will receive an official course completion certificate (equivalent to 9 ECTS).
