No transition will take place without capital and financing. Together with Nefco we will look into the state of sustainable and circular financing in the Nordics and how can we create more opportunities.

Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of the circular revolution. Prepare to be inspired by Finland’s circular solutions as we unfold the formula of functioning innovation ecosystems and public-private partnerships facilitating scalable, innovative circular solutions which lead to system change.
