Place Beyond Bytes @ University of Duisburg-Essen

We are the chair of Information Systems and Sustainable Supply Chain Management (Prof. Rothe) at University of Duisburg-Essen. As part of our main activities, we host the the Place Beyond Bytes - a co-creation lab for data-based impact ventures. Here, we are dedicated to supporting innovators and entrepreneurs in producing digital innovations towards sustainable futures.

The University of Duisburg-Essen is one of the youngest and largest universities in Germany. We are located in the middle of the Ruhr Metropolitan Region. Since its foundation in 2003, the UDE has developed into a globally recognized research university.

Digital technology plays a crucial role in shaping a more sustainable society. We still have much to learn about the interplay between digital technology and sustainable transformation.

With a focus on the socio-economic aspects of digital ecosystems, we gain a deeper understanding of the relationships between digital innovators and entrepreneurs, data, and knowledge as drivers of change. We engage in top-level research, higher education, and guide individuals and organizations in positioning themselves for "x futures".

Join us on our journey Towards X Futures.
