Towards X Futures
Information Systems and Sustainable Supply Chain Management
We are dedicated to exploring the potential for sustainable futures through digital innovation (x futures).
Digital technology plays a crucial role in shaping a more sustainable society. We still have much to learn about the interplay between digital technology and sustainable transformation.
With a focus on the socio-economic aspects of digital ecosystems, we gain a deeper understanding of the relationships between digital innovators and entrepreneurs, data, and knowledge as drivers of change. We guide individuals and organizations in positioning themselves for "x futures".
Join us on our journey Towards X Futures.
