Successful finale of the Entrepreneurship lecture series at the University of Stuttgart

On January 29, the lecture series Entrepreneurship came to a close with Thomas Sommer- Dittrich from Mercedes-Benz AG. He reported on the important role start-ups play for the major car manufacturer and thus initiated an exciting discussion with lively participation.
