Investing in a joint future
Tongji University in Shanghai is one of the most renowned higher-learning
institutions in China. ThyssenKrupp has enjoyed a close partnership with the
university for many years. This cooperation enables us to make early contact with
young engineers and managers with a view to maintaining the Group’s innovative
capacities in the future.
Successful cooperation
By establishing endowed chairs in the areas of production systems, controlling
and private business law we have added key practical content to the university’s
program. A large number of collaborative innovative projects have been carried out.
Exchange of experience
Our joint educational activities are rounded off by regular internships offered to
Chinese students at Group companies in Germany. In January 2005, the President
of the university, Prof. Dr. Wan Gang, was elected to the Supervisory Board of
ThyssenKrupp AG.
