Within the framework of green chemistry, the continuous development of new and advanced tools for sustainable synthesis is essential. For this, multi‐facetted underlying demands pose inherent challenges to individual chemical disciplines. As a solution, both interdisciplinary technology screening and research can enhance the possibility for groundbreaking innovation. To illustrate the stages from discovery to the implementing of combined technologies, a SusChem matrix model is proposed inspired by natural product biosynthesis. The model describes a multi‐dimensional and dynamic exploratory space where necessary interaction is exclusively provided and guided by sustainable themes.
