ABOUT TODAY

Join us for our upcoming Virtual Event around the topic of "Towards a Circular Economy: Materials, Supply Chain & Manufacturing" hosted with BASF and Bosch as we talk about possibilities and trends for a sustainable future. Meet founders and experts to gain deep insights into their innovative technologies and find out if there are possibilities for collaboration. 

Our Meetup will begin with a tech content stream including startup pitches and speakers. Afterwards, we invite you to participate in roundtable discussions where you, our partners and guests, have the chance to meet the startups around a virtual table to network and discuss possible collaborations.

We are excited to host this event together with BASF and Bosch, and are looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Future of Manufacturing.

TECH FOCUS

In contrast to the common 'take-make-waste' linear model, a circular economy is regenerative by design and aims to gradually decouple growth from the consumption of finite resources. This requires a radical shift in how we source our materials, the types of input we use, how we follow them along their lifecycle and how we keep them in use even after fulfilling their initial purpose.

//Technologies include: Sustainable Materials, Packaging, Material Traceability, Product Transparency, Waste Monitoring & Management, Recycling & Reuse, Waste Heat Recovery
