confluentes has been supporting small and medium-sized companies as well as large global corporations for 20 years, and we at WHU are very pleased with the commitment and practical experience that the students receive. Not only confluentes' work is a great added value created for the companies, but the surpluses that confluentes generates also flow each year into different support positions on the university side and, thus, benefit the entire WHU environment! I can highly recommend the cooperation with confluentes.
