Welcome to the Region of World Market Leaders! There are many reasons to study in Heilbronn. The city lies in the heart of Heilbronn-Franken, the region of world market leaders. A great number of innovative firms, many of them family-led small and medium-sized enterprises, have achieved top positions in world markets from their locations right here. That makes Heilbronn the perfect match for the particular TUM model, with its combination of entrepreneurial spirit and innovative capacity. Here, you can learn how these companies operate and how they are managed – straight from the source.
The Campus for the Digital Age The primary focus lies on managing digital transformation in the field of family businesses and information technology. Research and teaching aim to bridge the gap between business, engineering sciences, and information engineering in a dynamic, international environment. This opens up new research fields – for example, related to digital transformation and platform economy, which are used both in the innovative companies of the Heilbronn-Franken region and worldwide.
One of the most significant advantages of the TUM Heilbronn campus is its size, being home to just a few hundred students. This creates a sense of belonging and makes it easy to meet people; there is a good chance that our Student Service Point staff will quickly know your name.
