Why does business innovation for sustainability flourish in a lab?
9:45·2 December 2025

Frédéric Arnoux is co-founder and CEO of STIM, a team of researchers, entrepreneurs, designers and strategists who have been helping companies reinvent themselves since 2014.

From reducing engine fuel consumption by half, to eliminating a third of the CO2 emissions of glass bottles, STIM brings radical innovation to companies often more used to incremental improvement. And they do it using a unique approach developed in a research lab at the prestigious French school of engineering Mines Paris Tech.

The C-K method, for “Concept and Knowledge”  leverages both extremely free creativity and multi-sector insight into existing markets and products. And the results are often revolutionary, across a remarkably wide range of fields.

The people at STIM are excited by invention, innovation, change, but they’re putting that energy specifically into “breakthrough, sustainable-by-design” products and services.
