Patrick Gregori’s current research interest lies in entrepreneurship and innovation, where he investigates non-economic value creation in the context of sustainability and digitalization. Specifically, he focuses on analyzing collective processes and practices of (non)human actors that seek to question the status quo and create novel value.

He received his doctorate at the University of Klagenfurt for his work on business modelling in sustainable entrepreneurship. Many of his studies leverage practice theories, focusing on relationality and sociomateriality to investigate meaning-making and values. Patrick joined the ISM in June 2024 (marginal employment). He is also senior researcher and deputy head of the Department of Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship at the University of Klagenfurt and was visiting researcher at the University of Hohenheim.
