Knudsen Mette Praest
I am a full Professor at the Center for Integrative Innovation Management at the University of Southern Denmark and joined CRG (Chair Technology for Change) as a part-time Professor. My research integrates market, management, and engineering perspectives on innovation processes, strategies, and management. I have been involved in the development and testing of new methods for developing value propositions and business models to ensure full and targeted commercialization of emerging technologies. The research covers a range of different technologies, for instance the emerging drone industry, additive manufacturing, robotics, Power2X, and autonomous systems. I have a strong focus on combining the understanding of emerging technologies in light of the global challenges like climate change and sustainability.
