The KELLER. Academy is now 5 years old!

In 2017, inquisitive people arrived at the Academy for the first time. Among the first were companies such as Bosch, Hansgrohe, the Continental, etc. In the past years, the KELLER.Academy “moved” from the Black Forest to Berlin, and sometimes even beyond. Just recently, there was an online training course in faraway Pakistan.

„KELLER.Software develops applications and methods for the independent creation of solutions.”
