Commerzbank Mittelstandsinstitut
Overview
Innovative, resilient, globally leading, forward-thinking, locally rooted, and committed to the next generation — small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of the German economy. Frankfurt School will address their topics at the new Commerzbank Mittelstandsinstitut. Here, decision-makers and stakeholders from academia, business, politics, government, and society will come together to discuss their concerns, challenges and explore new perspectives. In particular, small and medium-sized enterprises will gain access to students and researchers at Frankfurt School.
Anchor Sponsor Commerzbank
As anchor sponsor, Commerzbank contributes substantial funding, its extensive expertise, and its broad networks. It ensures that entrepreneurial practice and academic excellence are combined to benefit everyone.
Focus on Strategy and Finance
Whether facing dynamic technological disruptions, geopolitical upheavals, or regulatory requirements, small and medium-sized enterprises must recalibrate their course. Strategy, innovation, finance, and governance will be the key focus areas of the new institute. This is where Frankfurt School’s academic expertise lies; professors are already addressing small and medium-sized enterprises and their topics. Researchers at the Commerzbank Mittelstandsinstitut as well as all faculty members will thus enrich one another and collaborate.
