How will we live and work in the future? And how will this affect business areas and the environment?

In order to be able to guarantee corporate sustainability, companies are dependent on innovation. In particular, purpose-driven sustainability ideas can be innovated more easily with bottom-up innovation management. At the same time, thanks to intrapreneurship, a corresponding culture of innovation can be established within the company and the transformation of the employees can be driven.
