TWS Partners

TWS Partners was founded in Munich in 2001 by industry entrepreneurs and scientists from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, including Marcus Schreiber and economist Achim Wambach. Its model combines academic economics—especially game theory, industrial economics and market design—with practical implementation for business decisions.

The firm advises on complex procurement and sourcing, bilateral and multilateral negotiations, supply-chain resilience, market access, pricing, matching markets and strategic decision-making. Its work is especially relevant where outcomes depend on competitors, suppliers, regulators or other stakeholders responding strategically to a client's actions.

TWS is particularly strong in high-value transaction and procurement situations, including competitive tenders, supplier negotiations, deal structuring and regulated-industry strategy. It works across sectors including automotive, telecommunications, high technology, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and consumer goods, with offices in Munich, London, Berlin, Utrecht and Zurich.
