This is what can happen when you give an idea one focused day and the right tools 💡 One week ago, 15 participants joined us for a full-day startup ideation workshop at @hhl_digital_space. Together with Dr. Nino Tomini, Niklas Schulte and Joshua Barthel, they worked from a blank page to first concrete concepts, identifying real problems, exploring markets and iterating quickly. Using a structured prompt manual and tools such as ChatGPT and Lovable, they tested assumptions, refined their value propositions and even built initial prototypes, all within a single day. The range of ideas was impressive: from a peer review tool for academia and a waste separation app to a construction site communication solution, sustainable snack concepts and a customized jewelry platform. The day was closed with short pitches and open feedback rounds. We’re curious to see which of these concepts will take the next step, maybe even into our Startup Incubation Program. ✨ #HHL #Entrepreneurship #StartupIdeation #Innovation

✨ Missed our Open Lecture & Alumni Evening in Munich? Here’s a quick recap of an inspiring afternoon at HHL. Last week, prospective students joined us at our Munich study location to experience the HHL part-time Master live. 🟡 Prof. Dr. Alexander Lahmann took the group deep into Capital Market Theory and Investments, unpacking how financial markets work, how investment decisions are assessed, and why strong theoretical foundations matter in practice. 🟡 Prof. Dr. Remi Smolinski then shifted the focus to Negotiation – showing how preparation, structure, and psychological insight can make the decisive difference at the bargaining table. Between lectures and conversations with faculty, students, and alumni, the evening offered exactly what it promised: an authentic insight into the HHL part-time Master experience.
