About the course

Starting point to this course is the our planet is not feeling well, we have a sustainability crisis and we need to do something.

This course combines technology and technology management perspectives for a cross-scientific approach in software and application innovation processes. After completion of the course, the students have a broader perspective on the innovation process in an annually changing, technically focused area. The students know how to innovate new meaningful software solutions and applications based on some technology as well as what is the technical and business feasibility of the solution in domestic and international markets. The contents consist of innovation management, idea generation and opportunity identification process; (open) business models and technology commercialization in global markets; product and service development; basics and use cases of the selected technology; user-centric design and privacy perspectives in software and application development.

In spring 2022 our SE4GD students worked on challenges in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Finland, Indonesia, India, Nigeria, Thailand.
