Become an expert in IT-based business innovation, able to devise new services and radically improve the way businesses work with the use of IT.

Information Technologies continue to drastically change the way we live and work. In fact, businesses today cannot function without them, and numerous complex business challenges find their solutions in IT. For example, how can you align an entire supply chain, working with different IT systems of various stakeholders? In which ways can big data support decision-making processes?

Through the latest scientific insights, you will gain expertise in areas such as IT architecture, IT-based business models, enterprise security, smart industry, data-driven decision support systems and IT management.
