Discover Innovation at the California Institute of Technology – Your Learning Journey in February 2026
What happens when technological excellence meets strategic thinking?
Six days at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) can permanently change your perspective on leadership and innovation.
Imagine standing on the campus of one of the world’s most prestigious research institutions. Around you, technologies are being developed that will reshape entire industries — from quantum computing to AI and robotics. This is where TU Wien Academy for Continuing Education’s Learning Journey “Managing Advanced Technologies” begins: you experience how technological research becomes strategic implementation.
Understanding Technology. Shaping Transformation.
This exclusive excursion to Pasadena is designed for leaders and decision-makers working at the intersection of technology, management, and innovation. Across industries — from manufacturing, energy, and mobility to IT — organizations face the same challenge: translating technological trends into concrete business strategies. But how do you identify which developments truly matter? And how do you implement them successfully within your organization?
