About us
WIBFIN Beteiligungs- und Projektmanagementgesellschaft mbH was founded in 2007. One of its co-founders was Prof. Dr. Rolf Ibald, who as managing partner continues to play a key role in shaping the company's development to this day.
Many years of collaboration with Prof. Dr. Monika Söndgerath and Prof. Dr. Dirk Wollenweber in teaching, research and consulting gave rise to the vision of developing the company further – into an academic Institute for Business Consulting and Research.
Together, we bring more than 100 years of combined experience from science, consulting and practice. We use this knowledge to create sustainable value for our partners, clients and colleagues. Our goal is to connect university lecturers and companies through research and consulting projects.
