About the Workshop

This workshop is designed to guide and empower startup entrepreneurs in adopting circular innovation principles for their businesses. 

The program will provide an understanding of the shift from traditional linear business models to sustainable and regenerative circular models (and how to embrace it from the start, avoiding the ‘old business models’ mistakes!).

You will learn the most relevant tips on identifying opportunities for circularity, choosing relevant strategies, and recognising design solutions for durability, recyclability, circular supply chains and beyond. Through practical case study exercises and some storytelling, this workshop will equip you with the experience-based knowledge and tools necessary to approach the circular economy potential and contribute to a more sustainable future.

You will also interact with other founders in the workshop & follow each other’s journey.

Workshop price is SEK 980 + VAT.
