The Nordic Circular Summit 2020: On a mission to explore the tremendous circular opportunities in the Nordic region

The annual Nordic Circular Summit co-hosted by Nordic Circular Hotspot and Nordic Innovation was a milestone event with over 1,000 delegates from around the world.

Two engaging days with topics including circular cities, ocean solutions, fashion and furniture, finance, energy, the food sector, education, biodiversity and more—this summit focused on knowledge sharing, matchmaking and collaboration.

"The Nordic circular butterfly is spreading the commitments of circular economy frontrunners after #NCS2020. Nordic Circular Hotspot is definitely the new lighthouse of circular collaboration," tweeted Ladeja Godina Košir (European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform) right after the event.

High energy, top speakers, solutions to implement - now! Here are some highlights for you:

Circular economy preachers – Get out of the church! Designing for pro-environmental behavioural change. Transparency brings trust. Circularity GAP report – a must across the nations. We are not experts – we are experimenting! Youth teaming up with major players. Network governance – transition brokers to facilitate the circular economy transition. Oslo – zero emission city by 2030. New leadership for new era. New, integrated value chains – Industry 4.0 & Circular Economy. Implementation of circular economy – 10 lessons learnt. And much more.

For those of you who missed these interesting sessions, we have some good news: the entire summit has been recorded, and the event slides, recordings, insight materials and content will be shared soon across the Nordic Circular Hotspot platforms and the website.

We are very much looking forward to seeing everyone at the next Nordic events in 2021!
