World-renowned experts and delegates from science, business, politics, and public initiatives will meet and exchange ideas about business models, strategies, and approaches to the circular economy. As a partner of the event, The Green Economy Network NRW (short KNUW) will of course be there and has put together an exciting programme for you (see below).
The Circular Economy Hotspot NRW represents the last stop of the virtual European tour "Circular SMEs across Europe - from Barcelona to Bottrop", which was initiated and organized by KNUW with various partners from Europe. It will be an exciting culmination of the successful series. Watch all videos here or become part of the community!
Partners of the CE Tour from the Netherlands, Flanders, and Catalonia will be present at the event, as well as numerous other participants from NRW, Germany, and Europe. Attend to exchange ideas with the frontrunners of the Circular Economy.
