OUR ORIGINS
Muamer Babajić
Founder
Muamer Babajic was born and raised in Germany. His parents are Bosnian. Growing up in Germany while war was going on in his parent´s home-country, he understood that education is key to development, prosperity and self-determination.
He graduated in business administration in Munich and founded his first company, MASTERWERK® in 2009, in the peak of the economic crisis. MASTERWERK® is distinguished engineering partner mainly to the German car and aviation industry, especially when it comes to Industry 4.0 topics as automation and robotics.
Muamer Babajić is an entrepreneur, impact-investor and advocate for technological education in the Western Balkans. He founded Masterwerk in Germany in 2009, built it into a recognized name in automotive and industrial manufacturing, and in 2016 brought that knowledge home – creating the German Robotics Centre (DKR) in Tuzla.
Amongst other recognitions – in 2014, he received the Münchener-Phönix-Preis from the City of Munich. He has also been invited to serve on the advisory council of the Federal Ministry of Education and Science of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FMON FBiH).
In 2016 he created the “Deutsches Kompetenzzentrum für Robotik” (DKR) located in Tuzla BIH with its primary goal to educate young people in the fields of automation, robotics and industry 4.0. In 2017, he was rewarded the ‚manager-of-the-year-award’ in Sarajevo.
He is convinced that long term peace-keeping in the Western Balkan region can only be achieved through education in state-of-the-art-technology. He wants to connect people from foreign countries and from all regional origins to build a bright future on common interests.
