Research at the department is strongly empirical and application-oriented. However, we are also successful in fundamental research. A feature of specialisation is projects that deal with the opportunities and challenges of digitalisation for companies and society. The individual professorships work closely with one another, with other partners from science and with local companies.

With TecUP, the department has been offering an organisational unit since 2014 that works across faculties for business start-ups at the University of Paderborn and thus acts as an interface between science and business. Through entrepreneurship teaching at the University of Paderborn and various event formats, both scientists and students are supported on their way to founding a company. TecUP stands for good networking and the exchange of startup founders and seasoned entrepreneurs in the region.
