This ensures a solid basis for research and training activities. The aim of the Hilti Chair for Business Process Management, established in 2007, is practical cooperation between science and industry. The focus is on the development of innovative business models using modern information and communication technologies. The team around chair holder Prof. Dr. In the past few years, Jan vom Brocke has implemented more than 30 projects with regional companies and four competence centers supported by the Liechtenstein government and regional industry have been set up to ensure a quick and direct transfer of knowledge. Over 350 students have so far been trained by the Hilti Chair as part of the Bachelor, Master and PhD courses at the University of Liechtenstein. From the point of view of Jörg Kampmeyer, member of the Hilti Group Management, this track record speaks for further commitment: “The numerous completed projects, the high quality of training and further education and the strong international research network are evidence of the successful work that is being done at the Hilti Chair. Like many other companies in the region, we benefit from this IT competence. It is therefore important to us to continue to generously support research and training in this area in the years to come. " Klaus Näscher, Rector of the University of Liechtenstein, regards the new agreement as an important sign of trust: “It is a confirmation of a well-functioning partnership, and I am particularly happy about that. We are increasingly dependent on this type of funding so that we can expand and optimize our activities. This cooperation is of great benefit not only for the contractual partners, but also for the entire business location. " A current example of this is the upcoming introduction of the new “Data Science” course. This focus in the master’s program was developed with regional industry and brings practical know-how on the subject of “Big Data” to the training. The effective handling of large amounts of data is also an important future topic at Hilti and is being promoted in a project with the chair. From a business perspective, contact with young professionals is also of considerable importance. The internationality of the students and the academic networks of the chair open up additional recruiting opportunities. In addition, fellowship programs offer selected master’s students the opportunity to become part of an international project team during a semester and at the same time to attend seminars at the University of Liechtenstein.
