Crucible Meeting - Cycle in Operations: What's Next?

@Electronic event

At the meeting, we will get an insight into what is happening in the circular economy on an international level. We will summarize what was at the forefront of the international conference World Circular Economy that took place in Brussels last April, which is held annually by the Finnish innovation fund Sitra. We will bring together foreign experts who will share with us new tools and their insights on implementing circularity in operations. What is the focus on a global level and what big steps can the private sector take?
