Advanced Digital Technologies

We live in the digital age. Therefore, is has become critically necessary for companies that want to establish and maintain themselves in future markets to understand and use digital technologies. But which technologies really make sense to use in one's own company or in individual business areas?

In this module/microcredential, you will receive an overview of both established and future digital technologies, their maturity levels, and the implications of their use. These include Artificia Intelligence, Big Data, Virtual Reality, Blockchain, and Cybersecurity technologies. By performing exercises and examining case studies, you will learn how to assess the potential of these respective technologies and evaluate whether they make sense to apply in your own company.The course concludes with a transfer project. Here, you will have the chance to determine possible applications of the technologies presented, e.g. in your company or in individual company departments.
