    I enrolled into the Business Transformation Technologies and Strategies program in the summer of 2023 through the pitch contest ITMOTECH. Back then, I was choosing between applying for a program that would help me develop my projects and the startup I already had or trying something new and getting into a program that is more theory-focused. Your Master’s studies are a chance to learn something new and acquire skills in new fields. An important point for me was the knowledge and information I could acquire and implement in my life and work.
