German Academy for Technology & Entrepreneurship

About us

Started in 2014 as Excellence Initiatives - International Network of Knowledge (EI-INK), on a mission to provide students with international exposure.

We signed MoUs with RWTH Aachen in 2016, KCT Institutions, and other European institutions to enable exchange programs, dual degrees, and international certification programs.

In 2017, we kick started our 1st exchange program - German Automotive Exchange and German Robotics Exchange.

We kick-started many international workshops yearly, both in Germany and India

Expanded into a broader ecosystem of initiatives registered in Germany from 2019, including MyHelpBuddy UG (expat relocation support funded by Berlin Senate, EU SocialFonds, SIB Berlin), Moyyn UG (international recruitment to bridge skill gaps in Germany, with 30000 candidates), and GATE (experiential learning bootcamps with 500+ graduates).

Our initiatives won 10+ awards in Germany

From 2021, all initiatives operate under a single organization GATE, with the mission of providing international exposure to students, with programs including certification trainings/bootcamps, xMBA credential, exchanges, career guidance, Centre of Excellence in AI and Business Innovation, and more.
