Abstract

In Germany, more and more start-ups have a special social relevance. Around three-quarters of all German start-ups pursue a positive social and ecological impact and almost one-third contribute to climate and environmental protection with innovations. But how do start-ups emerge that can make a significant contribution to the sustainable transformation of the economy? During the lecture, I would like to provide insights into the social and ecological aspects of entrepreneurship and show how founders develop sustainable business models and how they deal with the trinity of their economic, ecological and social objectives. The potentials and challenges of sustainable entrepreneurs will also be discussed.

Prof. Dr. Denise Fischer-Kreer holds the Chair of Entrepreneurial Behavior at the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Bonn. After studying industrial engineering with a specialization in civil engineering at RWTH Aachen University, she completed her doctorate there with her work on sustainability-oriented entrepreneurship. Since 2018, she has been working in the Innovation & Entrepreneurship Group (WIN) at RWTH Aachen University, where she was awarded the Publication Prize for Ethical/Social Responsibility and Diversity by the Faculty of Economics in 2020 and 2021 for her publications. After completing her doctorate, she gained experience in business and industry in the strategy department of a leading specialty chemicals group. International research trips took her to the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India, and Tsinghua University, China, among other places.

In Bonn, Ms. Fischer-Kreer teaches students in practice-oriented courses how to develop their own business ideas and the business models based on them. The students should be empowered by the courses of the Chair of Entrepreneurial Behavior and develop an interest in entrepreneurship. Ms. Fischer-Kreer received the 2024 Nicolaus August Otto Award from DEUTZ AG for her teaching approach.
