The Business & Finance Modelling (BFM) research group supports decision-makers in both the private and public sectors with actionable business cases and business models, strategic analysis of technological innovations, and guidance and coordination of multi-stakeholder multi-value business propositions. Our activities contribute to competitiveness and systemic societal transitions. With a market-oriented approach, we work with both governments and private parties, as both play a crucial role in these transitions.

Our mission

To help companies grow sustainably through innovation. With strategic analyses, we help companies make informed strategic choices. We examine the economic and business aspects and provide a solid basis for investment decisions. We do this by translating technical possibilities into new business models.

Questions we help answer

  • How does my organisation make the right investment decisions?
  • Which parties should work together to make Europe self-sufficient in geopolitically sensitive industries and supply chains?
  • What choices should we make to strengthen our position in the future carbon-neutral economy?

Core activities

Our research group helps organisations with investment and policy issues arising from the transition to a sustainable economy. To this end, we work intensively with companies and government bodies and engage in the following ways:

  • Developing new business models
  • Forging coalitions with the right partners
  • Providing insight into sustainability effects of policy choices
  • Linking business analysis to technological expertise
  • Calculating business cases, financing and risk modelling
