Who We Are
SDSN is more than a think tank it is a think-and-do tank. We produce evidence based research at the intersection of technology and environmental sustainability and put it into practice across the European Union.
Mission & Vision
An inclusive and resilient Europe where the digital and green transitions advance hand in hand.
Our Mission
—
—
To give Europe’s decision-makers independent, evidence-based knowledge that shapes technology and sustainability policy — and to turn that knowledge into tangible social benefit through capacity building and implementation.

A future where technology serves people and the planet, and where the benefits of sustainability are accessible to everyone, in every community.

Three interconnected pillars, one agenda — technology, sustainability, and inclusive development.
Technology & Digital Transformation
Governing digital transformation fairly and in the public interest — from AI governance to data stewardship and digital public policy that keeps people at the centre.
