The second International Conference on “Challenges in Managing Smart Products and Services” (CHIMSPAS) took place virtually on August 26 and 27, 2021. The conference connected researchers from universities of seven European countries and included eleven full-length presentations, one invited practitioner’s talk and a short presentation session. The scientific program was complemented by a lively social program with many opportunities for networking.

We thank all participants of CHIMSPAS 2021 for their interesting and high-quality presentations as well as for their engagement in inspiring discussions.
