This document discusses university-business cooperation from theory to practice. It outlines Dr. Ingo Dahm's career path from founding a startup to leading academic relations at Deutsche Telekom. It then discusses the relationship between science and business, identifying rivalry, ignorance, sponsorship, and partnership. It argues that success requires excellence in five "Olympic" disciplines: innovation, talents, education, brand, and business. The document highlights Deutsche Telekom's strategy to strengthen university cooperation and addresses the risk of a brain drain in Germany without adequate skills training. It proposes opportunities to prevent brain drain through international university cooperation and academic further education programs.

international masterminds changer…)
International University Cooperation is Key to Success.
Academic Further Education is a „Must-Have“ for sophisticated
enterprises.
