🌍 Strengthening global academic partnerships: Tsinghua University students visit TUM Campus Heilbronn
As part of the growing collaboration between Tsinghua University and Technische Universität München, Prof. Dr. Jingui Xie, Professor of Business Analytics at TUM School of Management at TUM Campus Heilbronn, and Dr. Yingze Hou hosted the 2nd TUM-Tsinghua Industrial Operations and Analytics Summer Exchange Program in September 2026.
33 students from Tsinghua University visited TUM Campus Heilbronn for an intensive academic exchange, connecting with TUM students and faculty through collaborative learning, innovation, and networking opportunities.
Highlights of the program:
🔹 Academic insights through lectures on Inventory Management and Operations Analytics
🔹 Hands-on learning with a data challenge addressing real-world business problems
🔹 Innovation in action during a visit to IPAI – Innovation Park Artificial Intelligence
🔹 Entrepreneurial perspectives through an exchange with Campus Founders
🔹 Future technologies at Nxt Space
The exchange continued in Beijing, where TUM students visited Tsinghua University and explored advanced engineering training facilities, an AI-supported water treatment plant, and Digital China. These visits offered valuable insights into how advanced technologies are integrated into engineering education and industrial applications.
Beyond lectures and company visits, the program created opportunities for cross-cultural exchange, networking, and collaboration, strengthening the connection between two leading academic institutions and their respective innovation ecosystems.
A sincere thank you to all participants, organizers, and partners who made this exchange possible. 🤝
