What does the positive, sustainable narrative of a strong, future-proof entrepreneurship look like, one that focuses on chances and opportunities instead of foregoing them?
Why is this study necessary?
Our goal
With this mission statement study, we are researching the future narratives of sustainable entrepreneurship in the DACH region - in which medium-sized and family-run businesses are the engine and backbone of past and future economic success. The aim is to create a new corporate attitude for shaping the future of our economy and society - which creates identity and can be told in an attractive way. For a new charge and enhancement of the image of entrepreneurs in society and a balance between economy, ecology and social responsibility.
