Future value: Nordic sustainable and circular finance
/
The benefits of investing in circular business models are two-fold, creating long-term value and investing in a sustainable future. What is the state of sustainable and circular financing in the Nordics and how can we create more opportunities?
Through Nordic case studies from the markets, we explore circular and sustainable financing, as well as the important roles of investors and hedge funds, startups and SMEs in this environment. Money talks but what can we do to make sure it is available where needed? And how can we ensure circular economy ecosystems receive the financial attention they need to scale up?
