Data Driven InnovationA three-part workshop series for students, researchers, university staff, startups and practitioners
Bild: zVg How do you turn data and AI into meaningful, responsible innovation that creates value and trust? Data Driven Innovation – From Ideas to Impact is a hands-on, three-part workshop series for students, researchers, university staff, startups, and practitioners who want to work towards concrete data-driven concepts.
Across three connected workshops, participants explore data-driven opportunities, business and ecosystem logic, and key questions around trust, ethics, and governance that are essential for real-world application. The series combines practical tools, applied cases, and peer exchange in a structured learning journey.
Participants may join with their own idea, research project, or startup case, or work with examples provided during the workshops. No prior technical background is required.
Who is this workshop series for?
- Bachelor’s and Master’s students
- PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers
- University staff
- Startup teams and external practitioners
This workshop series is for anyone interested in data-driven products, services, business models, or ecosystems, who wants to turn a research idea or business opportunity into a clearer value proposition or data-driven concept, make better innovation decisions based on evidence, and address trust, privacy, and governance questions early rather than as a late-stage add-on.
What you will gain
By the end of the series, participants will:
- Structure a data-driven opportunity grounded in a real problem or use case
- Understand how data creates value across products, services, and ecosystems
- Work with practical, reusable tools for research and innovation projects
- Strengthen their understanding of ethics, trust, governance, and regulation
- Leave with a clearer concept and potential next step
