Background

About Niklas Schwendemann

With a strong academic background in Environmental Economics & Business Management (M.A.) from Hochschule Trier and Marketing & International Business (B.Sc.) from Hochschule Koblenz, complemented by an enriching international experience at Durban University of Technology, I have cultivated a well-rounded skill set that combines sustainability and business development. My passion for sustainability was further developed during my involvement with the Agri-PV group at Fraunhofer ISE, where I played a crucial role in acquiring direct contracts and contributed to the Economics Task Force. Additionally, my commitment to sustainable business practices led me to co-found Meinwärts Bewegungs- & Begegnungsräume, where I played a key role in shaping the business model, strategy, and brand identity. During my internship at The Herball Ltd. in London, I gained practical insights into brand development and distribution strategies, which align with my dedication to fostering sustainable business growth. Moreover, my internship at Reedu GmbH & Co. KG in Münster exposed me to strategic management and provided me with valuable experience assisting company executives. My journey to merge sustainability and business development further includes internships at S&G Automobil AG in Karlsruhe, where I gained insights into the automotive industry, and at Badische Treuhand Gesellschaft mbH in Lahr, where I worked in the realms of financial accounting and controlling. With my academic foundation, practical experiences, and a strong desire to drive sustainable business initiatives, I am well-equipped and highly motivated to contribute to the dynamic field of sustainability and business development.
