Testimonials

Joachim Schonowski

Deutsche Telekom

“The team developed an inspiring team spirit and organized themselves fully autonomously. They were quickly convinced from the project scope, worked extremely focused and integrated their thoughts and ideas. They developed an investor-proof business potential calculation and pitch presentation. We will use the results either for an internal project or a spin-off.”

Lars Stäbe

McKinsey & Company

“Working with eLab teams is an amazing experience – the students are analytically razor sharp and know how to surprise with creative and sophisticated business ideas.”
