‘Nordic Innovation‘ is co-hosting the ‘World Circular Economy Forum’ together with the Finnish Innovation fund Sitra. Nordic Innovation has supported World Circular Economy Forum since 2018, as a part of Nordic Innovations Circular Business Models program. The aim of the program is to accelerate the transition to a circular economy in the Nordics and to develop the Nordics further as agile frontrunners within circular economy and circular business models. Through active support and participation in WCEF, the Nordics are an important partner in the development and distribution of circular solutions globally, with the opportunity of attracting talent, capital and business opportunities. The forum will consist of different plenaries and parallel sessions with a wide range of relevant topics and sectors, including dedicated spaces for exhibitions and networking. During the four days we will zoom in on amongst other finance, food, forestry, future skills, metrics, mining and energy. All while focusing on circular solutions for nature and the economy. “Circular economy will be discussed among key Nordic and global industrial actors, government officials and organizations across sectors from finance over mining and minerals to consumer perspectives in Helsinki”. Says Peter Munch-Madsen, Senior Advisor at Nordic Innovation. In between the program there is time to visit the Expo area and the Nordic hub. For the expo stand we are teaming up with multiple Nordic organizations, so while visiting our Expo area you can also meet representatives from Nordic Circular hotspot, Nordic Investment Bank, Nordic Development Fund, NordForsk, Nordic Energy Research, The Nordic Council of Ministers, NEFCO and Nordic Cultural Point. Find us in the middle of the Expo area. The program for the Nordic stand will be published shortly. 1-2 June the World Circular Economy Forum descends into two days of accelerator sessions in Helsinki and online. Nordic Innovation will partner up with different institutions to put several aspects of the circular economy on the agenda.
