What is the Cross Innovation Class?
Every degree programme needs practical experience. In the Cross Innovation Class, students from different disciplines meet Hamburg-based companies. In mixed teams, you spend a semester developing innovative prototypes for the circular city of tomorrow. The benefit? Students get to know all phases of product development and take on different user perspectives. Companies receive external project management from us and work exclusively with young professionals. The methods used include design thinking.
Who is the format aimed at?
Companies and public institutions that would like to implement a project with young professionals. These are students of IT engineering, design, environmental sciences, urban planning, smart technology and computer science at the universities of Applied Sciences Wedel, Akademie Mode & Design (AMD), HafenCity University (HCU) and Leuphana University Lüneburg.
