The Czech Circular Hotspot is operated by the Institute for Circular Economy (INCIEN), a non-governmental organisation that has been promoting circular economy principles since 2014. 

CCH aims to facilitate cross-sectoral and international cooperation in the field of the circular economy. It wants to create a space where the public and private sector can cooperate to accelerate the transition towards a circular economy in Czechia.

The hotspot was set up in 2022, and thanks to strong partners and successful models abroad, it has rapidly grown into an effective network. Members include businesses, SMEs, start-ups, NGOs and academic bodies. 

As well as networking opportunities, it provides training sessions and information on overviews and trends.
