Circular Innovation Sprint
Develop circular products and services grounded in EU regulation, circular design principles and real business needs.
Shift to circular business with a fast, expert‑led sprint that turns regulation, customer insight and circular design principles into concrete product concepts and a clear action plan.
“We had a strong start to our programme. The interactive activities helped companies connect from the outset, and the substantial content worked very well.”
– Mette Hiltunen, Project Manager, Arabia Circular Hub Helsinki, Innovation services, Business Helsinki
