This happens through the eyes of strategic management as well as in any engineering courses which includes cutting edge technology. Moreover there are courses which focus exclusively on the topics I&E and encourage a hands on mentality where students are motivated to develop their own innovative ideas and show them how this idea could become reality. The modules related to I&E are mostly taught by the three institutes: the [https://www.startupengineer.io/ Institute of Entrepreneurship], the [https://cgi.tu-harburg.de/~timab/tim/en Institute of Technology and Innovation Management] and the [https://www.tuhh.de/alt/im/home.html Institute of Innovation Marketing].
