Lerend Netwerk Circular Economy Connect kicks off

Any company in the technology sector, regardless of size or activity, can benefit from a circular approach. However, there are no ready-made answers for how you as a company can actually get started with the circular economy. Our experience shows that companies can learn from each other's good and bad experiences. That is why Sirris and Agoria already launched the learning network Circular Economy Connect in 2016. The learning network is an exclusive community of and for technology companies that realise circular projects in a business context. The common goal is to contribute to the development of a more circular economy. 

A selection of the themes 

Together with the members of the learning network, we select the themes, based  on concrete business cases and common challenges. Amongst the topics that have been covered in previous cycles you will find: 

• Circular design and business models
• Ecosystem approach and circular value chains
• Measuring circularity
• Financing circular business models
• Organisational changes that facilitate circular strategies
• Public procurement and circular economy
• Marketing of circular products and services
• Upcoming laws and regulations 

Practicalities

We will organise one cycle of four sessions during a period of one year. Companies getting started with circular economy are invited to participate. The sessions are held throughout the year at one of the companies in the network. The host companies are given the opportunity to obtain specific feedback or input for their current projects or challenges.​

We also plan shorter online sessions in which we give the floor to (international) experts and business cases.
