Raiffeisen Award 2022 goes to MCI students

To support students in their semester abroad, Raiffeisen-Landesbank Tirol AG presents the "Raiffeisen Award for Students" for the eighth time. The shared appreciation of international experience and global networks serves as the basis for the award. Raiffeisen sees this as an enormous added value for the Tyrol as a business location, but also for the personal development of future managers.

This year's awards go to:

Florian Bigelmaier, Master's programme Management, Communication & IT

Florian Bigelmaier is spending his semester abroad at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. The focus on Master's programmes at the partner university and the high-tech industry of Bangalore particularly appealed to him in his choice. The intercultural exchange of knowledge also played an equally important role for him as the opportunity to gain a completely new approach to business through the Indian perspective.

Elena Preymann, Master's Programme International Business & Law

Elena Preymann is part of a double degree programme at MCI and the National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology in Taiwan, where she has already spent one semester. As she had no previous contact with the Asian region, her curiosity and interest in Asian cultures were decisive in her choice. With its highly developed technologies and hospitable inhabitants, Taiwan also scored points with her. Due to its proximity to China, she also sees exciting opportunities to immerse herself in the professional world of one of the largest international markets.
