Regenerative systems offer solutions to today's and tomorrow's challenges. In the Life Sciences, we promote the development of such systems through education, research projects and collaboration with industry. We curate and bring together internal and external stakeholders and leverage the potential of networks through collaborative work.

We connect stakeholders from research, teaching, industry, public administration and society who work in the Life Sciences, primarily in the agro food sector. In doing so, innovations are initiated and implemented by taking an inter- and transdisciplinary approach, with a high level of focus on practical application.

We leverage the potential of networks through collaborative work. Solutions and business models are developed collaboratively and are implemented in economic contexts. We see ourselves as an agile platform that curates and brings together people and teams from different organisations.

We offer various services on the following topics within the context of the Life Sciences:

• Innovation development and promotion
• Product design and prototyping
• Co-creation workshops
• Planning and realisation of roundtable discussions and stakeholder dialogues
• Company-specific training programmes

• Urban catering services - sustainable and healthy: Modelling sustainable nutrition in catering services without significantly increasing the cost of goods.
• Weltacker 2.0: Development of a digital educational course including an exhibition, based on the 2015 Weltacker project, which originated in Berlin.
• Agro Food Blockchain: Experience with blockchain in the agro food sector in cooperation with Delica AG and the La Laguna coffee project in Honduras. This project also includes the development of a ‘Blockchain’ course.
• Sustineri KSGR: Commissioned by the Hospitality & Service Department at the Cantonal Hospital of Graubünden, research is being conducted to determine how an organisation's catering services can become more sustainable.
• Farmer's PLUM: Development of a digital, process-based solution which provides support from the farmer to the caterer. [Planning, inventory management (Lagerverwaltung) and market access = PLUM]

In the area of education and teaching, the topic of regeneration is crucial to us. We aim to initiate and implement innovative thinking by taking an inter- and transdisciplinary teaching approach.
