How we commit to the future: Support for students

As a spin-off of the Karlsruhe University, we know which foundation academic studies provide. We are upholding our close relations to universities by following our leading vision: promoting a practical understanding of vehicle development.

Therefore, we are introducing CarMaker – our simulation software for virtual test driving – to students in different programs. Formula CarMaker, Solutions for Academics and our discounts for universities help to transform ideas into real innovations. Find out more about our programs and how CarMaker and IPG Automotive can help you to add value to your studies.
