International collaborationDTU collaborates with a large number of companies to give students the best possible opportunities to find the internship that is just right for them. One of these companies is Sony, which offers BEng students internships and gives them the opportunity to write their final BEng project in collaboration with the company. Associate Professor Torben Hede has long experience with innovation from private companies, including Sony, and it was obvious for him to establish a collaboration with the large Japanese company on behalf of DTU.

International collaboration

DTU collaborates with a large number of companies to give students the best possible opportunities to find the internship that is just right for them. One of these companies is Sony, which offers BEng students internships and gives them the opportunity to write their final BEng project in collaboration with the company. 

Associate Professor Torben Hede has long experience with innovation from private companies, including Sony, and it was obvious for him to establish a collaboration with the large Japanese company on behalf of DTU.

“The collaboration gives the students the opportunity to try their hand at innovation in a large international company, where students can do an internship, write their BEng project, or solve problems for the company in connection with Innovation Pilot, which is an interdisciplinary project course that all BEng students have to complete,” explains Torben Hede.

Olle Landegren, who works with internal and external innovation in the Sony Startup Acceleration Program department, is also enthusiastic about the collaboration and its educational benefits for both the students and the company.

“We want to learn more about how to create new companies, and we’ve therefore chosen to collaborate with DTU and the start-up industry, among others. We also want to be inspired and challenge the students with real problems that they learn a lot from solving, and where we can subsequently use their results to improve our workflows, for example,” he explains.
