The NIT alumni network – A strong uNITy
Our over 650 alumni take care of keeping the network alive – by offering advice and assistance to our current students and providing insights and contact into their companies. They stay in touch via social networks such as LinkedIn, their alumni chapters or the annual NIT homecoming weekend. In all this, they are supported by the NIT Alumni & Community manager who acts as a link between all student generations, the NIT and the broader community.
Current Events & Projects
WANTED: HOSTS FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
For international students, it is always both exciting and challenging to come to a new country. Getting to form bonds with locals outside of Campus and work life helps them to navigate in the new culture and surroundings and also offers the oppurtunity to find new roots far away from home. Generations of NIT students have formed strong ties with their hosts that often last until today.
You live in Hamburg, are of German nationality or lived here for several years, you love to meet curious young people from another part of the world and bring them closer to Hamburg, German culture and traditions as well as everyday life? Then become a host for an international NIT student.

NIT Alumni: Where are they now?
...with Felipe Bolaños, Class 16
Current place of residence: Stuttgart, Germany
Currently working as: Expert Supply Chain Purchasing / Data analytics at Robert Bosch GmbH
Has there been a professional challenge since you were a student for which your studies or experiences at the NIT have prepared you for perfectly?
My experience at the NIT helped me develop the ability to work with tight schedules and deadlines. However, I believe the most valuable asset I gained from the program is the heightened sensitivity I acquired for working with people from diverse professional backgrounds and cultures. In global companies, leading multidisciplinary and multicultural teams towards a common goal can be a significant challenge.

Where are you currently working and what is the biggest issue that you are facing at work or what is currently keeping you busy there?
In the purchasing area, we constantly face challenges in vendor management and material bottlenecks. Currently, topics such as holistic risk management, supply chain resilience, and new legislation, like the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, keep me occupied. Additionally, working as a data analyst in a central corporate role for a global company presents a continuous challenge in terms of accessing and making data available.
What is your most precious / special / remarkable memory from your time studying at the NIT?
Along with studying until late in the evening and attending seminars on weekends, I have fond memories of the amazing parties we hosted in the music room and the common room. Additionally, celebrating our birthdays at the NIT also holds a special place in my heart.
The latest from the NIT
Alumni Start-up Nüwiel on Timesquare New York & chosen as first-ever German start-up in Morgan Stanley Inclusive Ventures Lab
Amazing news: Nüwiel, the start-up of Class 11 alumna Natalia Tomiyama, was presented on a billboard of the NASDAQ tower in New York City's Time Square.
For New York Climate Week, Morgan Stanley Inclusive Ventures Lab selected 25 startups out of 5.000 worldwide applications for their 10th cohort. NÜWIEL became the first ever startup from Germany selected for the investment. What are the odds to be one of them? 1 to 191, below 1%. Natalias message? "This is not to boast but to encourage founders going through challenging times. Keep trying, against all odds." A great message to current and future NIT start-ups. Read more about the chosen Morgan Stanley EMEA startups and their visions, including, of course, Nüwiel, by clicking on this link. Congratulations to Natalia and her team, the NIT community is very proud! |
