Cities and regions across Europe face similar challenges when implementing the circular transition. Over the past year, practitioners shared real-life experience—what worked, what didn’t, and where they got stuck—through peer exchange in the CCRI communities of practice. 

The CCRI hands-on online workshops build directly on that practitioner exchange. Each workshop focuses on a key implementation challenge identified in the CCRI communities of practice and translates those insights into practical tools, methods and examples that participants can apply in their own context.

This session is based on the community of practice Supporting local circular businesses. It will focus on designing support measures for circular businesses that work in practice and include real examples from Vienna and Hackney to spark discussion and exchange.

In just two hours, you’ll learn to examine and diagnose needs, processes and barriers so you can develop, propose and implement practical adjustments to existing tools – without adding new funding streams.

Who’s it for?

• City and regional practitioners working on circular economy, sustainability, procurement, waste management, economic development or innovation.
• Public officials involved in contracts, budgeting, programme design or setting KPIs.
• Business support organisations, development agencies and circular hubs working with SMEs.
• Anyone already implementing circular strategies but facing challenges in delivery and uptake.
