Green entrepreneurship, sustainability, and circular economy. This line of research is dedicated to the interplay between businesses and the environment.
It analyses three macro-themes:
- circular economy market strategies, new business models and digitalization as an enabler of circular economy practices;
- eco-innovation and patenting activities, green innovations (including radically disruptive technologies such as artificial photosynthesis);
- green start-ups and social entrepreneurship, looking at sustainability also in terms of governance, gender and inclusivity, triple-bottom line frameworks (profits, people and the planet) and concrete examples such as B-corps.
This line of research focuses on strategies for scaling up sustainable and inclusive solutions within enterprises, considering large-scale trends such as Industry 4.0, climate resilience, and actions in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, both from the firm perspective and systemically.
