More information and registration
The new, circular, economy is getting closer. To really get the transition towards a circular economy started a new way of thinking is required throughout the whole life cycle of products. A crucial requirement is to reconsider the whole value chain of products and services to be able to develop completely new business models with the aim to power the transition from a linear to a circular economy.
4 different keynotes will first give a broad perspective on business models for a circular economy and how new values can be discovered and exploited. In the afternoon all keynote speakers will facilitate an interactive workshop to get you deeper into the matter. You can choose 2 out of the 4 subjects from the keynotes.

Workshops
Workshop 1: CIRCO Creating Business Through Circular Design | Pieter van Os
The CIRCO project takes circular design as a starting point and enables companies and designers to work together and “go circular”. In a pressure cooker workshop, you experience how to use circular business models and design strategies to start creating circular business guided by the principles, tools and opportunities of the circular economy introduced by CIRCO.
Workshop 2: Exploiting all values in the chain | Erwin van der Laan – Erasmus University Rotterdam
Closed loop supply chains create business value that comes in many flavors. This workshop provides insights in which values can be created and how they can be leveraged by the stakeholders.
Workshop 3: Strategies for circular business models | Peter Stouthuysen – Vito, Belgie
Some examples of existing and successful circular businessmodels will be shown and discussed. Different strategies will be explained to look at your own business (cases) to become more circular AND more successful.
Workshop 4: Tools for orchestrating value networks| Kristina Lauche – Radboud University
Addressing the social and ecological dimensions of sustainability means working with a broader set of stakeholders. The tool helps to map out the landscape of a value network and to develop strategies creating internal momentum and leveraging external trends. Participants will think through how viable business models can be developed from the perspective of different partners.
