Circular Design Network Project Closing Event

10th November 2022, from 12:00 to 15:30 Live at Korjaamo, Helsinki and on-line

Data is widely seen as an enabler for future circular economy.

Data is needed to design sustainable solutions and value chains, from raw materials management to end users in a circular economy.

Data can be used to extend the lifetime of products, to replace tangible products with services, to create a resource-based business, and to boost the reuse of materials.

Circular Design Network Project will share insights to data-enabled circular battery, textile and agri-food value chains. Join us for top key notes and to learn about the project results. Utilize this opportunity to network with the key stakeholders on data for circularity!

Live attendance is limited – book your place at Korjaamo in advance!
