As part of the project "Establishing an Africa Office" (German: "Aufbau eines Afrika-Büros), Kempten University of Applied Sciences is cooperating with various African universities, including Hawassa University in Hawassa, Ethiopia. With their project, Kempten UAS pursues far-reaching goals: A central concern is the development of joint teaching formats, particularly in the areas of start-ups and sustainability, in order to promote academic exchange and educational development in both regions. Another focus is on the joint application for research projects with a focus on digitalisation and sustainability. In addition, a lively exchange between lecturers, students and start-ups is being sought in order to share knowledge and innovations. Networking between companies and start-ups in Africa and Germany is also promoted in order to create economic synergies and collaborations.
