Circular Economy: Business Model of the Future

Join this event to explore the circular economy concept and learn how it leads to a paradigm shift!

Background

“In a circular economy, things are made and consumed in a way that minimizes our use of the world’s resources, cuts waste, and reduces carbon emissions.”

World Economic Forum, 2022

Have you heard about the ‘reduce, reuse, repair, renovate, recycle, and recover’ strategies?

The circular economy is a development-focused model that shifts away from the consumption of finite resources, to the application of regenerative approaches. As an alternative to the linear economy- where resources are exploited, products are manufactured, used, and then converted into trash or waste; circular economy pursues the elimination of waste and pollution, the circulation of products and materials, and the regeneration of nature.

During this in-person event, we will discuss the fundamentals of circular economy and showcase circular business models. The session will be enriched with the perspectives of our subject matter expert Dr. Günther Dobrauz- Partner & Leader of PwC Legal Switzerland and Co-Founder at Exelixis Capital AG, Kirstin Brünjes- SDG Expert at radicant, Orsolya-Maria Sauerbrey-Paszkan; Sales Trading Specialist at Wierec Trading AG focusing on metal recycling, and  Dario Pirovino- Co-Founder & CEO at Muntagnard, giving the entrepreneurial point of view.
