Tanaka Business School is gearing up to tell prospective German MBA students at the Frankfurt MBA Tour on Saturday 8 October why it is number one in Europe for entrepreneurship.

Professor Stefan Szymanski, Full- time MBA Programme Director said Tanaka Business School offered German students world class teaching and research excellence, together with an unparalleled diversity of students.

"Our MBA has all of the classic business components you would expect from a world class MBA programme - but with a twist. You are also at the heart of Imperial College, one of the top universities for science, technology, medicine and mathematics.

"Our graduates acquire the latest business expertise in an environment that understands both the commercial requirements of emerging technologies and the growing knowledge economy," said Professor Szymanski.

"Uniquely, we are the only business school in the world to enable students to hone their business skills on a Technology Venture Project, a live commercial feasibility study on a piece of Imperial College technology. This is done in partnership with Imperial Innovations, the spin out arm of Imperial College and one of the UK's leading technology transfer companies.

"Our MBA is also ranked 1st in Europe, and 5th in the world, for entrepreneurship and Tanaka Business School teams regularly win European Business Plan competitions. And there are also the obvious benefits of living and studying in London, which is generally considered to now be the business capital of Europe," Professor Szymanski said.

Simon Buller, MBA Programme Manager, and Gavin Harrison from Tanaka Business School can be found at the Congress Center Messe Frankfurt, Ludwig-Erhard-Anlage 1, 60327, Frankfurt Am Main. The Fair is open from 1400-1800 hours.
