Dr. Constanze Stockhammer studied Business Administration at the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration, specializing in innovation marketing and management as well as operations research.
 
After several years as an innovation and market researcher at HiTec, a research spin-off of WU Vienna, she moved to the Council for Research and Technology Development in 2006, where she was responsible for corporate research, start-ups and innovation as well as their financing in addition to her role as deputy managing director. She endeavored to anchor a broad concept of innovation in the Council, which, in addition to service innovations and the creative industries, also focused on social innovations. These efforts ultimately led her to the management of SENA, the first interest group for social entrepreneurship in Austria, which she helped to establish in 2019.
