Innovation area Sustainable Digital Ecosystems

In the "Sustainable Digital Ecosystems" innovation area, we focus on value creation in digital ecosystems. The focus here is on aspects of sustainability, taking into account ecological, social and economic targets. With our interdisciplinary approach, we integrate findings from computer science, economics and social sciences to design and implement innovative solutions. By addressing challenges such as resource efficiency, data protection and ethical considerations, we aim to create the foundation for a responsible, resilient and sustainable digital landscape.
