Overview
- Urban production
- New value chains
- Industry, trade, commercial economy
- Regional value creation and circular economy
Regional value creation plays a crucial role in shaping a sustainable and fair future. In labor markets dominated by services and the knowledge-intensive economy, the promotion of production is particularly important in order to provide employment opportunities for all talents. The focus is on strengthening urban production, developing new business models and the responsible use of resources (e.g. in terms of the circular economy). We examine value creation and production processes in a wide range of areas, from the commercial sector to trade and industry. Innovative, environmentally friendly production practices not only increase efficiency, but also contribute to the broader goals of a socially just and environmentally conscious society.
