Welcome to the proceedings of the 2023 International Conference on New Business Models (NBM 2023). Our conference brought together a multidisciplinary community of scholars and industry leaders who are at the forefront of exploring innovative ways of developing the next generation of business models driving sustainable and responsible growth. This 8th edition of the NBM annual conference, hosted by the School of Business and Economics at Maastricht University, served as a platform for exchanging knowledge, ideas, and experiences, in a new emerging field, New Business Models. Exploring new business models has emerged as a promising avenue for organizations to address these complex issues while creating value for both their stakeholders and society at large.
