The Spring Servitization Conference is dedicated to understanding how organisations develop and adapt their business models through servitization and advanced services.The 2026 conference will be held here at ZESS, with the overall theme of ‘Servitization as a Multilevel Transformation: Business Models, People, Organisations, and Ecosystems’. The conference will bring together the world’s leading researchers, practitioners and doctoral students to debate and engage with the theory and practice of servitization.
SSC2026 will comprise the Servitization Doctoral Symposium (Monday 18 May) and the main Spring Servitization Conference (Tuesday 19 and Wednesday 20 May).
The doctoral symposium is aimed at doctoral students whose research deals with topics of servitization (including product-service systems, service-oriented business models and service-oriented logic).
At the main conference, participants have the opportunity to present their research findings and discuss their work in panel discussions. The program fosters intensive exchange and bridges the gap between research theory and industrial practice. The conference also features keynote speeches from executives of leading manufacturing companies. In addition, we dedicate several sessions to the early stages of research. These include interactive keynote speeches by leading scientists, debates on current research topics, and poster presentations on project proposals and doctoral theses.
