In today’s episode, we have a very special guest, Patrick Gruhn, a successful serial entrepreneur in the technology space, as well as a recent shareholder of our university.

Patrick Gruhn supports us in this mission with an entrepreneurial experience, international network and a startup program that will invest up to one million dollars in our student areas. Thus, we are thrilled to discuss global opportunities in digital education transformation.
