Why participate?

The circular economy offers enormous potential—especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It opens opportunities to discover new business areas, tap into innovative sources of income, and adopt approaches that reduce costs and CO₂ emissions. You will also learn how to strengthen your company’s resilience and position yourself as a sustainable leader, while networking with other decision-makers.

What to expect

You will gain practical insights from businesses that have already implemented circular economy approaches. Experts will share knowledge on digitalisation, financing options, and innovative business models, providing tools and recommendations you can apply directly in your company. You will also have the chance to bring your own questions, exchange ideas with participants, and explore how circular practices can drive innovation, resilience, and sustainable growth.

Who should attend?

This workshop is designed for CEOs, business owners, and decision-makers at SMEs in Germany who want to make their business models more innovative, resilient, and sustainable.
