AI-powered cross-border growth in Europe: International Business & human-AI collaboration

How can people and AI work together to solve international business challenges? Join the TH Köln Summer School 2027 in Cologne, Germany, June 21 – July 9. Explore how AI supports business decisions, put your ideas into practice through teamwork, and build connections that reach beyond the classroom.

Why you should join:

AI is changing how companies work across borders. Understanding how to use it thoughtfully is becoming an important part of working in international business.

At our Summer School, you will explore AI tools and their applications in a global business context. You will work with different perspectives, tackle business cases and develop your own approach to collaboration between people and AI.

Through the programme, you can:

  • Develop your AI collaboration skills by exploring how AI tools can support business analysis and decision-making.
  • Put learning into practice by working on international business challenges in a team.
  • Broaden your global perspective through collaboration with students from different cultural backgrounds.
  • Build international connections with people who share your interest in business and its future.

Your learning experience

Work on a real-life business case study and explore how AI can help companies grow across borders in Europe. The programme combines learning rooms on relevant business issues with company visits and an AI hackathon, giving you opportunities to connect new knowledge with business practice.

Experience Cologne

Make Cologne part of your summer. Alongside your studies, discover the city’s culture and surroundings and spend time with your fellow participants.

Your stay is also an opportunity to explore more of Germany and Europe, with Cologne as your starting point.

What will you take away?
