Graduates of the Cooperative State University win the Biberach Business Award

The Biberacher Wirtschaftspreis [Biberach Business Award] has a long history – on 27th January it was presented to successful graduates of the Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University [DHBW] in Ravensburg for the 22nd time. It was organised by the Biberach companies Boehringer Ingelheim, Netze BW, Gustav Gerster, KaVo, Liebherr, the Kreissparkasse Biberach, the Volksbank Ulm-Biberach and the Handtmann Group of Companies.

To be presented with the business award, graduates must have a final grade of at least 1.9 and have attained ECTS classification A and B. A total of 16 DHBW graduates managed to achieve this in 2016.
