In order to bring latest knowledge into trainings and consultancy projects, Export-Akademie is
actively involved in international research and R&D activities. For their research activities Export-
Akademie is awarded with the innovation seal of the Stifterverband Germany. In the past 20
years a significant number of feasibility studies, theoretical and empirical researches, thematic
workshops/seminars/webinars with a focus on green technologies were organized and
successfully implemented. For example, e-learning concepts for the implementation of
educational processes were provided for the cluster companies
in the MicroTEC Südwest cluster

measures and the creation of e-learning tools. MicroTEC Südwest consists of over 100 cluster
partners such as universities, research institutions, companies and organisations and was funded
by the BMBF Federal Ministry of Education and Research for the period 2013-2016.

future. With new technologies and a new management approach of integrated management
& leadership, new solutions and ways to slow down the climate change and to increase living
standards can be created. Therefore, the concept of integrated technology management was
developed in the last years.
