Circular Pirkanmaa's mission is to accelerate regional cooperation and the practical implementation of the circular economy. Ethica carried out expert work for KIPI, interviewing key stakeholders and personnel and organizing a workshop to develop services and financing models.
The work identified what kind of services are expected from the center and what people are willing to pay for. The results of the work will be utilized in KIPI’s internal development work. Ethica’s expertise in building circular economy ecosystems and service design provided KIPI with concrete tools and direction for further development.
“Ethica quickly grasped the challenge and made a clear synthesis of which direction to go. We got good insights, especially for developing our offering. Ethica’s consultant also dared to give constructive feedback – exactly what we were hoping for.”
– Karoliina Tuukkanen, Ecofellows / KIPI
