The PAN African Transfer University will enable the job integrated education system in Africa. Future experts for the entire value chain for green hydrogen and green technologies will get their degrees there. Key benefits of this new transfer university are:

• Experts in green technologies is a key for Africans sustainable industrialization
• German technology leaders strongly support these efforts to build up their management and work force in the region
• Supporting the technical and entrepreneurial development of the region by setting up competence clusters and incubators for start-ups
• Support by local industry partners

The PAN African Technology Transfer University is based on the Steinbeis Competence Study Approach

Steinbeis Network support companies and students in

• global business development
• technology transfer and especially
• their international business activities.

A degree program is always pivoted around a unique project at the interface of technology and management that is developed by each student. Steinbeis concept is a customized, adaptable and flexible, considering the requirements and conditions of each particular business situation (students’ professional background, organizational peculiarities of the sponsoring company, training objectives, etc.).

• The ‘project-competence’ degree program is a job-integrated study program with online and presence courses, colloquiums, self-study activities, project papers and bachelor/master thesis.
• The study program is based on a real-life project that a student receives from a supervising company.
• A study project can be set up at any organization – even in a start-up. The project is then developed by a student during the whole study period.
• The courses are used to deliver theoretical knowledge and help students develop their competences in the use of methods important to accomplish the project in question.
• Students are supported and supervised by internationally active professors and experts.
• In this way, both the company and the student receive benefits in the form of qualified support and consulting during the entire period of study and writing/defending the Bachelor’s and Master’s thesis.
