STATEMENT
Kevin Kuhn, Experience Scientist
«If you still think that data is merely a nice add-on for your operations, you’re missing out on opportunities for innovating, developing your company, making progress and gaining new knowledge. As a young entrepreneur, I had the chance to start my own business after getting my Master’s degree at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, and I’m now able to show others how to use data to develop their business model.»
