Independent and Sponsored Research on the Future of Platforms and Ecosystems
New Foundations

We always approach research with an action based perspective, and with the aim of bringing our research outcomes in the commons for everyone to use and build upon.
Our research sponsors support our mission with the aim of developing relevant thought leadership capabilities and advantages based on the deep understanding we generate during the research process, an understanding that is readily applicable to the organization’s strategy.
