AKUBIS® is the Mercedes-Benz Global Training interactive business television network. As a television cooperative system AKUBIS® enables a broadly based knowledge transfer via satellite and it ensures interaction by means of appropriate communication channels.

The basic principle of AKUBIS® is straightforward. The broadcasts are similar to traditional television magazine programmes in which presenters explain specific contents for the daily work of the participants.

However, the difference between AKUBIS® and television magazines is that participants have the opportunity to communicate directly with the presenter in the studio. This technology enables AKUBIS® to offer “interactive television”.

AKUBIS® can be simultaneously translated and broadcast in up to 5 languages. Currently the European network consists of 33 countries with more than 104 stations and is continuously extended. The individual MPCs already use broadly based domestic networks.

An additional convenience for personnel is that they no longer need to travel to central training courses. They can learn interactively at the screen in the AKUBIS® classroom according to the motto: “Information comes to the user”.
