On 29 and 30 September 2020, the Finish Innovation Fund Sitra is hosting the World Circular Economy Forum virtually.
The year 2020 marks a year of change and adaptation. The COVID-19 pandemic has washed across the world and damaged economies. At the same time, the importance of a rapid transition to a circular economy is more important than ever. The whole world needs to find ways to get back on its feet, and there is a unique opportunity to support the sustainable recovery of the economy with circular solutions. WCEFonline will dive into why and how a circular economy can help reboot and build resilience in the economy.
Join circular economy change-makers from around the world as they share practical circular economy examples that will help to rebuild economies stronger, greener, and better!
