Sustainable business and service design

Service design (Design thinking) is Laurea’s way of working. We help companies move from product-centric approaches to services and towards the circular economy.

Our Service Business and Circular Economy research programme

A sustainable future, technological disruptions and rapid changes in the operating environment require companies to develop innovative solutions, the ability to anticipate, and on that basis the ability to build new ways to create value for customers, society and themselves. Laurea’s research and development expertise in service business and the circular economy offers companies, and other organisations, opportunities to find direction amid these phenomena and to develop sustainable value creation, competitive advantage and circular-economy-based business.
