The teaching and research of HPI are focused on "IT-Systems Engineering". HPI was founded in 1998, and is the first, and as of 2018, the only entirely privately funded faculty in Germany. It is financed entirely through private funds donated by billionaire Hasso Plattner, who co-founded the software company SAP SE, and is currently the chairman of SAP's supervisory board. In addition to Christoph Meinel and Marcus Kölling, the management of HPI was expanded to include Ralf Herbrich and Tobias Friedrich on 1 November 2022.
