Björn Jindra promovierte in Wissenschafts- und Technologiepolitik an der University of Sussex und habilitierte an der Universität Bremen im Bereich der Volkswirtschaftslehre. Seine Forschung konzentriert sich auf die Überschneidung von internationalen Wirtschafts-, Innovations- und Entwicklungsstudien.

In seiner aktuellen Arbeit setzt sich Professor Jindra mit der Internationalisierung der F&E-Abteilungen von multinationalen Unternehmen auseinander, sowie dem globalen Wettbewerb um die Führungsrolle im Bereich der künstlichen Intelligenz. Er ist Gastwissenschaftler am John H.
