INCIEN is Slovakia’s circular economy network, a team of experts who have carried out various projects for businesses, public authorities and the general public.
The network has worked with partners at national and international level. They aim to make the circular economy an effective tool in the fight against climate change, the biodiversity crisis and pollution.
It has a number of priorities:
Helping reduce the amount of waste generated
Proposing and carrying out change
Connecting people and raising awareness
Its work with authorities focuses largely on waste management, whereas it helps businesses adopt circular principles. It also conducts educational activities (Green Circular Academy), and prepares studies.
