A platform for innovation and sustainable development
In addition to increased knowledge about circular economy and business models, the workshops are a great platform for networking. By meeting and sharing experiences, the participants create a network that can improve and transform the Nordic market.
From theory to implementation
Essential for the workshops, is that the participants are encouraged to take their ideas and initiatives and implement them in their business after the sessions.
Businesses are also guided in how they facilitate change on an administrative level. Global KPIs and a circular mindset at the managerial level are examples of efficient measures that participants are introduced to during the workshops.
Learning from industry experts
The workshops are facilitated by Nordic Innovation to promote circularity in Nordic businesses. The workshops are divided into different sessions with industry-specific focus and run by industry experts in their respective fields.
The workshops will take place in Oslo, Helsinki, Stockholm and Copenhagen, and are divided into four different industries:
- Machinery & Equipment
- Maritime and Energy
- Construction
- Transport.
The playbook and toolkit to help businesses
As a part of Nordic Innovation’s work with sustainability and circularity, we have developed a Nordic Circular Economy Playbook. The playbook, and related toolkit, aim to help Nordic businesses reach their full potential in the new circular economy, and as a result, promote sustainability. The playbook and toolkit contain a set of specific measures that can be used to enable circular business advantage for you and your company. Nordic Innovation has collaborated closely with Sitra, the Finnish Innovation Fund, and Accenture in developing both the workshop content and the Nordic Circular Economy Playbook.
In order to increase knowledge about and use of the tool, we want to carry out the following activities in 2022.
- Workshops for businesses and ecosystems in the Nordics (autumn 22, Sept-Oct).
- Knowledge seminars on circular business models for industry associations and clusters (May-June 2023).
- Train the Trainer training for business advisors around the Nordic countries (May-June 2023).
- Update of the Nordic Circular Economy Playbook and a simplified edition (March-April 2023).
