Elevating Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

A space where futures and innovation come together
to transform societies.

Work

We enable future economies by unifying research, design and technology.

About

studio chitangala® is a research and innovation firm based in Germany and Denmark—guiding societies in their transformations through building small and supporting new kinds of entrepreneurial Innovation

Founding Partners

We're a collective of scientists, futurists, designers, artists, educators and engineers—all co-owners, who are engaged in research, development and innovations that make tomorrow's world work.

Impact

We create new insights and discover untapped potentials hidden within systemic shifts.

Practice

'A future economy needs an advanced society. We believe that economy should serve human needs—not vice versa. Combining Crit

Research

'We radically rethink and redo the way
new knowledge is created and made productive to advance societies.'

For future societies

We centre on deep human insight and societal challenges, 'pulling' the right technologies into our process, and adapting them to design ventures that serve emerging needs and deliver systemic impact.

Approach

Innovation is social: Studying emerging lifeworlds, where humans, ecologies and technologies meet, advances transformations that enable equity, and new economies to address future generations’ needs.

'Our customers have one mandate: drive societal resilience through transformative innovation—our R&D helps them do it.'

Research-as-a-Service

Our RaaS solutions make continuous discoveries possible: We complement agile product practices, innovation projects with human and societal insights to ground future visions and decisions in rigour.

'We develop methods, design goods, and run labs to translate futures-driven research into practical innovation.'

Design & Development

Our in-house studio develops new methods and unique tools for innovators to apply futures thinking on products and new venture projects—plus workshops that increase futuremaking capabilities.

'Guided by Gigatrends, we study humanity's future lifeworlds to equip innovators with insights that convert challenges into opportunities.'

Studies

We democratise access to thought-leading research and innovation to empower transformations, led by the grassroots: futures made by educators, artisans, small businesses, and citizens—not by Big Tech.

Ecosystem

'We inspire Entrepreneurial Ecosystems to embrace transformational futures.'

Technology Transfer

Our studio drives the adoption of emerging technologies by aligning innovation strategies with global shifts and longterm trends.

Innovation Hubs & Teams

Innovation hubs and teams seek us out to change to futures and systems approaches, and elevate the product-centered paradigm.

Higher Education

In collaborating with students and educators, we co-design learning opportunities that enhance futures capabilities and thinking.

Creative Communities

By working with artists and designers, we discover and build purposeful technologies using speculative approaches.

Sustainable Development

We help development and support agencies in designing decoupling innovation strategies for alternative modes of growth.
