=== Content and procedure ===

The Technology Management program spreads throughout one to two years, with one block seminar during the lecture-free period and two regular semesters. Technology Management is offered as a supplemental program to a traditional Bachelor's or Master's degree and thus represents an additional qualification. The program aims to complement university education with a particular focus on practice. The presentational phases occur in Munich and primarily in the evening or on weekends to ensure compatibility with primary studies. The content focuses on trend research, [[product development]], [[entrepreneurship]], and [[soft skills]]. Due to frequently changing elective courses, the core program is always complemented by new electives, such as [[design thinking]], hardware prototyping, [[social entrepreneurship]] or [[data science]]. A stay abroad is required for up to four months in the form of an internship with partner companies such as Infosys or a semester abroad. Partner universities include [[University of California, Berkeley|UC Berkeley]], [[Columbia University]], [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]], [[ETH Zurich]] and [[HEC Montréal]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Personal Growth|periodical=CDTM|publisher=|url=https://www.cdtm.de/study/personal-growth/|url-status=|format=|access-date=|archive-url=|archive-date=|last=Nikolai Kraler|date=|year=|language=en-US|pages=|quote=}}</ref>

== Research ==

Excellent research at the interface of digital technologies and entrepreneurship is another task of the CDTM. The conducted research focuses on new technologies that will become relevant in five to ten years. In detail, topics such as [[prototyping]], business model innovation, and [[technology transfer]] are addressed. A particularity at the CDTM is the close link between research and teaching. An interdisciplinary structure enables the incorporation of expertise from students, doctoral students, and professors. For instance, current topics are integrated into courses, and students are involved in research projects through seminars and theses. Publicly funded research projects of the European Union are, for example, innovative educational initiatives in the food industry or the health sector. But also private research projects are carried out at the CDTM. In numerous projects, the CDTM cooperates with institutes such as the [[Karolinska Institute]], the European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT) or educational institutions such as the [[IESE Business School]], [[Imperial College London]], [[Queen's University Belfast]], or the [[University of Cambridge]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=CDTM – Why and how we partner with EIT Innovation Communities|url=https://eit.cdtm.de/|access-date=2021-11-25|website=eit.cdtm.de}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Seibold|first=Marcel|title=Research|url=https://www.cdtm.de/research/|access-date=2021-11-25|website=CDTM|language=en-US}}</ref>

Each semester, the CDTM publishes a trend study about future scenarios and ideas for digital business models.<ref>{{cite web|title=Trend Seminar|periodical=CDTM|publisher=|url=https://www.cdtm.de/collaborate/innovation-research/cooperate-trend-seminar/|url-status=|format=|access-date=2021-11-11|archive-url=|archive-date=|last=Nikolai Kraler|date=|year=|language=en-US|pages=|quote=}}</ref> Previous topics were "Public admission in the digital era" in spring 2020 and "Parentech - the future of parenting" in autumn 2019.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bookstore|periodical=CDTM|publisher=|url=https://www.cdtm.de/research/bookstore/|url-status=|format=|access-date=2021-11-11|archive-url=|archive-date=|last=Marcel Seibold|date=|year=|language=en-US|pages=|quote=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=cdtm Publisher Publications - Issuu|periodical=|publisher=|url=https://issuu.com/cdtm|url-status=|format=|access-date=2021-11-11|archive-url=|archive-date=|last=|date=|year=|language=|pages=|quote=}}</ref>
