About us

On a journey of innovation, sustainability, and impact

Welcome on the Way to a
Sustainable Future

At the Sustainability Innovation Lab, we study the management of sustainability transformations of firms, industries, and geographic regions (cities and rural areas). Besides conducting research, we actively engage in application-oriented projects and cooperatewith industry partners.

Our work dives deep into topics around sustainable business models,multi-actor constellations, as well as scaling. It covers digital technologiesand alternative "green" technologies (e.g., biogas as a car fuel) alike.

We believe asking the Right Questions is the Key to Insightful Research

Our findings on questions like these are published in top-tier academic journals as well as in practitioner-oriented articles and books
