About us

Who we are
Campus Innovation Group e.V. (CIG) is a non-profit student initiative in Saarland — based at the Innovation Center of Saarland University. Our goal is to prepare students for their careers through hands-on experience, while giving organizations access to motivated talent and fresh perspectives.
We work in interdisciplinary teams and focus on clear formats: projects, case studies, workshops, and networking. For us, it’s not “consulting for consulting’s sake” — it’s learning by doing, structured, reliable, and focused on tangible outcomes.
CIG exists where theory reaches its limits: we create spaces where students take ownership, learn practical methods, and tackle real challenges. Companies and partners benefit from direct exchange on campus — early, approachable, and on equal footing.
