Research programme for Creative Business and Sustainable Development

How we work

• Fields of expertise 

  We carry out research in sustainability and business conditions of importance to creative industries and professions. This includes:

  • Sustainable development and circular economy: How to translate a vision of a sustainable future into practice, and into new sustainable business areas and competences.
  • Digitalisation, technology, and innovation: What is the role and significance of digitalisation and technology in how companies and consumers meet.
  • Business understanding and development: How can design and re-design of business models and supply chains create growth.

• Methods 

  Our research and development does not take us away from the reality, we study, but leads us closer to it. We work across disciplines and prioritize empirical studies. We look at the issues and needs, as well as solutions, facing the creative industries – as well as sustainable development, technology, and societal impacts.

  We work closely with partners in the industry, and each project is typically based on named companies, consumer segments, or technologies. As a result, our knowledge helps increase our partners’ competitiveness and innovation power.

  In addition, we focus on how the creative professions develop in a complex world of changing conditions, technologies and markets.
