Our Projects
The first university-based and student-led M&A consultancy in the DACH region
AK Advisory is the DACH region’s first university-based student initiative aimed at providing first-year students with real M&A experience through our partner boutiques. A selected team of 10-15 students will undergo a training program within the M&A resort during their first semester, which includes an introduction to M&A as well as exclusive workshops with our partner boutiques and other companies, tailored for AK Advisory.
Starting from the first semester, we offer the opportunity to actively participate in live M&A deals with our partners, providing students with deep, continuous practical experience and valuable insights. Thanks to our close connections with our partner boutiques and workshop collaborators, we offer our members a fast track to securing internships early in their studies.
The Invest team focuses on learning about different asset classes through training sessions and workshops with our esteemed partners
In collaboration with industry-leading Investors, Banks, and Asset Managers we will introduce the members of the AKB Mannheim to fundamental research and valuation methods, different asset classes and give students the opportunitiy to gain insights into the work of Institutional Investors, Portfolio Managers, Traders, Market Makers and many more!
After learning important foundations in a training program, and exclusive workshops with our partners, the Team will have the opportunity to actively engage in Stock Pitch competitions and manage the fund of AKB Invest. Our focus explicitly lies on transferring knowledge regarding different asset classes, investment strategies, and valuation methods, as well as giving our members the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in investment-related industries.
Coming together to shape the next generation of female success
Founded in 2023 as the first female empowerment program at the University of Mannheim, “Women in Business” aims to create a platform for female students to connect with female professionals from all industries. Through our speaker events “Women Talk Business”, our female mentorship program, and our cross-industry Speaker Day, being hosted in April 2024 for the first time, Women in Business brings together female students and creates a unique space for exchange, female empowerment, and success.
We are always looking for new challenges to take on and put the empowerment of female students as the thing closest to our hearts. If you would like to support us, whether as a mentor, a partner, or a speaker, please do not hesitate to reach out and share your thoughts with us.
Let’s shape the next generation of female success together!
