Christian Fisch is Associate Professor for Business Economics and Entrepreneurship with a focus on the space sector at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability, and Trust (SnT), University of Luxembourg.

Prof. Fisch received a Master’s degree in business administration from Trier University (DE) in 2012. After that, he received a Ph.D. degree from the Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM) at Erasmus University Rotterdam (NL) in 2016. He received his habilitation from Trier University in 2020 for the thesis “Essays on new and established types of entrepreneurial finance” and joined SnT in February 2022.

As head of SnT’s research group for Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and New Technology (EINT), Prof. Fisch's research focuses on entrepreneurship and innovation management and his research topics are diverse. In the area of entrepreneurship, his research focuses on the financing, growth, success, and failure of start-up companies, the creation and development of young technology companies, digital transformation, sustainable entrepreneurship, and space entrepreneurship. In the area of innovation, he assesses intellectual property (e.g., patents and trademarks), innovation strategy, sustainable innovation, and innovation in the space sector. His research is predominantly quantitative-empirical and I am particularly interested in interdisciplinary research projects that combine innovative data and analytical methods.

Prof. Fisch's research was published in the leading journals in entrepreneurship and innovation research (e.g., Journal of Business Venturing, Research Policy). He regularly participates in international conferences and cooperates with researchers from all over the world. Moreover, he strives to create impactful research and his research has received worldwide press coverage.

He has extensive teaching experience in the areas of entrepreneurship, innovation management, strategy, space, and quantitative-empirical methods. He has taught courses in undergraduate, graduate, and MBA programs at public and private universities in Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. He gained much of his teaching experience at Trier University, where his courses won several teaching awards. Currently, he is deeply involved in the SnT's Interdisciplinary Space Master (ISM), in which he teaches courses on space business and space entrepreneurship.

Besides, Prof. Fisch is passionate about entrepreneurship and he actively promotes the creation and development of start-ups and spin-offs. He also possesses own entrepreneurship experience, which gathered from founding and managing a consulting firm that specializes in start-ups and SMEs.
