What if dissemination could be offered as a service—for researchers and companies driving innovation? This was the spark of an idea that ignited in 2017 when Michael Anranter and Thomas Stollenwerk began to brainstorm. At the time, Michael was a junior researcher at Oikodrom, the Vienna Institute for Urban Sustainability, and Thomas was editor-in-chief of Biorama magazine. Old university friends, they realized they could combine their expertise to tackle a critical challenge: making science communication more impactful and accessible.

By 2018, their idea had become a reality, and Oikoplus was born. The mission was clear: to help research consortia communicate groundbreaking solutions to the world’s toughest challenges—making research not only accessible and understandable but also inspiring. The spirit of European collaboration was woven into Oikoplus’s DNA from the start. After all, how could it be otherwise when an Italian and a German joined forces to found a company in Austria

Today, Oikoplus has grown into a dynamic team of experts, working at the intersection of urban development, tourism, energy transition, space, biotechnology, and green finance. Together, we bring diverse skills and perspectives to help project consortia thrive. Our role goes far beyond communication. We’re a trusted partner in multi-year research and innovation projects, helping international teams—across Europe and beyond—build powerful visions and forge strong, collaborative consortia. And we do it all with professionalism and humanity.

At Oikoplus, we’re also your go-to partner for exploiting research results, ensuring they deliver scientific, economic, and societal impact. We’re always evolving—open to new ideas, skills, and opportunities in innovation communication. What drives us? A commitment to facts that are proven, shared, and trusted—and an insatiable curiosity to keep learning and growing.

We work with multi-disciplinary research and science consortia as well as with applied innovation projects. We work with industrial R&D teams, with universities, research institutions, and private and public.
