Join the Team
A Greener Globe: Working Together for a Clean Planet.
What we offer:
Our joint mission is "Unfold the sustainability impact of green chemistry" because we understand that creating a sustainable future requires materials based on regenerative and non-fossil resources that are non-toxic and recyclable. Currently, the resource base of the German chemical industry — the third-largest in the world with over €200 billion in revenue — is 87% dependent on fossil resources and follows a linear "use and dispose" logic. Changing this is a significant shift and requires entirely new ways of teaching, inventing, and practicing chemistry. To achieve such a transformation, the application of the 12 principles of Green Chemistry is just as important as focusing on innovation, such as technology transfer and startups.
For you, this means the "why" question is answered. You will work at the intersection of business and science with the goal of bringing technologies to market that will transform the current situation toward sustainability and actively shape the so-called "chemical transition," i.e., reshaping one of the most important industries in the world.
We are a team: "We lose together, and we win together" is our reality. We always support each other and care for one another. Through this, we grow both personally and professionally as well as a team. This also means that ideas and content are always more important than hierarchies or past achievements.
For you, this means you are entering a secure and honest space where you will receive appreciative feedback, and your ideas and enthusiasm will be celebrated and encouraged.
We are flexible and results-oriented: We offer flexible working hours and integration into a highly motivated and interdisciplinary team. Personal development is seen as key to achieving future results.
For you, this means you will have endless opportunities to grow as an individual. You will be supported regarding your individual goals and aspirations, as everyone is the "secret sauce" on the path to sustainability transformation.
We are in Berlin: The vibrant and liberal attitude, along with the quality of life in Germany's capital, attracts talent from all over the world. The established startup scene is currently developing into a global Green Chemistry hotspot, at the center of which are excellent research institutes and the above-mentioned institutions.
For you, this means perfect timing. The potential is not yet fully realized, but it is clear that it will unfold, making future success almost a given — and also hard work. But what could be more satisfying than seeing the fruits of your labor grow and succeed?
Master Thesis at Technische Universität Berlin
Mapping and Measuring Chemistry Innovation Ecosystems in Europe: A Framework for Analysis and Validation
This thesis investigates the landscape of chemistry innovation ecosystems across Europe and develops a framework to evaluate their strength. The framework is then operationalized using external data sources and refined through expert input and empirical analysis.
Innovation ecosystems are increasingly recognized as critical environments for translating scientific research into impactful technologies and businesses. This thesis focuses on chemistry innovation ecosystems in Europe, aiming to identify where such ecosystems exist and what factors make them particularly effective. Drawing from the literature on innovation ecosystems and adjacent fields, the thesis develops a framework that defines and categorizes the essential elements contributing to ecosystem strength—such as institutional support, infrastructure, talent, funding, and collaboration networks.
Once developed, this framework will be operationalized using a combination of desk research, expert interviews, and publicly available data sources (e.g., patent databases, funding records, institutional rankings). To complement the theoretical foundation with empirical insights, a snowballing approach will be used during the operationalization phase—starting from the literature-based factors and expanding the framework iteratively through expert input and empirical observation. The final result will be a validated and refined list of factors, tested across selected European chemistry innovation ecosystems to ensure robustness and practical relevance.
