Who we are
What a time to be alive! The climate is on the verge of reaching critical thresholds, biodiversity is dramatically declining, and political coordination at the top level collapses. Where do change start? At And Friends we believe that leadership from below is imperative. We urgently need a deep and fast transformation of business models, industrial value chains and services.
We are here to develop next-generation strategies in startups, scale-ups, corporations, and municipalities. And Friends combines design methodologies with experience from business and innovation projects. We partner with clients to identify and implement regenerative models and circular solutions. Like any good friend, we tell the truth, support you, align with your ambitions, increase your capacities, and help you stretch further.
