Circular Design with Digital Technologies: a study tour online by CIRCULAR4.0
The main objective of the CIRCULAR4.0 project is to strengthen digitalisation processes by SMEs to foster innovation processes and accelerate the transition to the circular economy (CE) in the Alpine Space.
Within the project three transnational working groups, consisting of project partners and valuable experts on CE, Digitalization and Innovation for SMEs, were created. They focus on different business models along different stages of the value hill: circular design, optimal use and value recovery business models. Each group invites best practices and experts to share their knowledge and experience around these CE "areas".
The study tour (free of charge) focuses on circular design and production and how it can be supported by digital technologies. Participants need to register here.
