Our programme targets Nordic industrial manufacturing companies with their own end-products (excluding component manufacturers). It is ideal for medium and large enterprises with R&D/design functions. Any company designing and manufacturing end products and aiming to evolve their operations and designs towards a circular economy will benefit from the programme. Also, a curious and motivated mindset will help you get the most out of the programme!

Target Groups

Executive Track: For management teams, board members, owners and investors

R&D Track: For professionals involved in product & service development

The most important selection criterion is your willingness to learn and commit to implementation! In addition:

• Minimum 1 person taking part on each track

• Medium to large industrial manufacturing companies with their own end-product

We will also seek balanced participation from all five Nordic countries. In case the amount of applications exceeds 50, we will apply 'first come first serve' principle

At least one person per track should participate, but the best outcomes are achieved with a larger, cross-disciplinary team. We welcome teams of up to 6 people to join the workshops and guarantee it is effective use of time! (Note that the number of participants in physical events may be limited.)

There’s no participation fee, participants only invest their time and engagement. Participating companies will commit to concrete actions by developing a concept idea during the programme, and investing a minimum of 200 hours of combined participant time (work time, meetings and workshops included).

The programme has a flexible format so that you easily can fit it into your schedule. Each track offers online and physical training modules consisting of workshops and podcasts coupled with an opportunity for 1-2-1 coaching. A tailored online learning environment provides additional learning materials and a platform for exchanging ideas with other companies. You can access the learning environment when it suits you best.
