Sustainable Innovation Münsterland

Sustainability plays a special role in the Münsterland region, also as a driver of innovation. The medium-sized, often family-run company structure is an important factor here. Business models and innovations are designed to be successful in the long term and to protect the environment. Renewable energies also play a special role in Münsterland. On the scientific side, a whole range of institutes deal with the three sustainability dimensions of ecology, economy and social issues.

About the project

The ecosystem for sustainable transformation in the Münsterland region

Cost pressure, new requirements from customers and skilled workers, demanding regulations - companies find themselves in an environment of rapid change. SMEs in particular are facing a number of specific challenges. As a result, the successful transformation of local companies is of central importance for Münsterland as a business location characterised by SMEs.

As part of the Sustainable Innovation Münsterland project, we support SMEs in the region in the sustainable transformation of their business models and the development of sustainable innovations.

To this end, we are creating a joint innovation platform and combining innovative tools and ideas from science and start-ups with the practical experience of established companies.

The platform gives you:

  • Access to the innovation ecosystem and support in identifying suitable cooperation partners from SMEs, start-ups and research for the sustainable transformation of your organisation
  • Coaching formats specifically tailored to the challenges faced by SMEs in the areas of sustainable leadership and open innovation
  • An exclusive network for managers in the region as a protected space to network, exchange ideas and learn together on pressing issues relating to sustainable transformation, innovation and entrepreneurship
  • Networking with young high potentials as drivers of sustainable transformation

Our focus: pooling the expertise required for successful transformation and shaping the future together.
