Digitalisation and collaboration are key to the circular transition. With this in mind, the Nordic Circular Hotspot has developed the Nordic Circular Arena, the first digital multi-stakeholder platform for the circular transition in the Nordics. Co-funded by Nordic Innovation, the Nordic Circular Arena will give you free access to circular networks, knowledge, events, opportunities, projects, markets, groups, stakeholders and much more. This is an official WCEF Side Event. Join us to learn more and raise a toast to the Nordic Circular Hotspot’s second Anniversary!
