Our story
From applied research to practice
We are a passionate team with deep roots in research and innovation that's committed to advancing sustainability. Our founders, Mila Galeitzke and Erik Steinhöfel, have developed unique methodologies to optimize sustainability management and business model development, while working in the field of corporate management at the Fraunhofer Society. read more >> << show less
Our journey gained momentum as soon as our methodologies were successfully applied by 70 small and medium-sized companies and 60 start-ups, validating their effectiveness. Encouraged by positive feedback from users and their ongoing interest along with numerous inquiries from interested companies and associations, we decided to combine our solutions for synergies and bring them to a broader application to make a positive impact.
Building on our foundational work, we were fortunate enough to receive the EXIST Business Start-up Grant. This allowed us to expand our team to include Luize Ferreira an expert in marketing and intercultural and network management. Together we're building an authentic, economically viable, socially responsible, and environmentally-friendly company to accelerate sustainable development.
Today we're situated at the InnoTechHub, an incubator for innovative startups at the University of Applied Sciences in Berlin. We're also currently participating in the CleanTech Kickstart program, hosted by the German Accelerator and the Digital Hub Initiative.
