CIT Enterprise is responsible for the corporate network and provides input for the other two departments. Not only are the specific issues and potential projects of partner companies given access to education and research, guest lecturers also share their practical experience with the students.

This department also manages a start-up center in which professors and students with tangible product ideas can receive advice. Those wishing to create a business are provided with advice and support with regard to compiling business plans and getting their start-up off the ground. CIT Enterprise works closely with venture capital companies and Cologne’s three business incubators.
