New year, new programme - The "Silicon Valley School" in Oberschneiding!

28 December 2021

The "Silicon Valley Program" at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology has been running for 6 years now. Anyone who has an invention or business idea in mind can learn here, following the American model, how to develop it successfully for the market. The whole thing is implemented with workshops, web conferences and also particularly labour-intensive opening and closing weeks. At the newly founded Bavarian Innovation Transformation Centre in Oberschneiding, those responsible have now transferred the successful Silicon Valley Programme into the Silicon Valley School. We talked to those responsible about what is new about the School and how the 2021/2022 programme is going so far.
