HIGHEST is a connector

First and foremost, HIGHEST is an advisor. But also a connector and facilitator. Your companion. A link between science and business. From the early phase of your project to support, foundation and champagne on campus.

High up early on.

When did Noah build the ark? Before the storm. HIGHEST also starts as early as possible with raising awareness and advising students and researchers. So that they have at their disposal what is probably the most valuable thing that young innovators can have: Options.

Shoulder to shoulder

HIGHEST advises on an equal footing, not via e-mail or hotline. Personally and directly on campus. If researchers and students are to make one of the biggest decisions of their lives, trust is essential. And of course our personal presence.

Vision of TU Darmstadt: xchange4Transformation

We are in what is probably the most exciting innovation decade in history. Technology is evolving so rapidly, so disruptively, that science must respond to societal challenges. To upheavals in companies and even democracy and politics. TU Darmstadt has developed the xchange strategy to establish this highly relevant ability. The strategy is led by Vice President Professor Jens Schneider.
