Interview with Dr. Daniel Strecker / 14.7.2022

Cross innovations for sustainable business models

"Due to a lack of resources, SMEs in particular tend to focus primarily on their immediate environment and day-to-day operations. In this context, it might be possible to discover new opportunities with suppliers or in the region, and to use them for one's own business model."
