Today, we were over 70 participants when 30 Nordic companies came together in Helsinki for two inspiring and hands-on workshops on Leading Circular Change and Testing and Prototyping Circular Concepts.

Through cross-company discussions, solution-sharing, and practical exercises, we explored key drivers for leading circular transformation, assessed the companies’ current progress and identified actionable next steps.

We are halfway through the Nordic Circular Design Programme, and the journey so far has been both insightful and action-driven. Now, we are getting ready for our next live workshop in Helsinki, where we will deepen these discussions, strengthen partnerships, and continue shaping the future of Nordic circular design.

We’ve just wrapped up a full day of collaboration and learning as part of the Nordic Circular Design Programme, bringing together 30 forward-thinking companies for two focused workshops, tailored for an executive track and an R&D track within the participating companies:

"𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽 𝗮 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻" (𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸)
“𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗖𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (𝗟𝗖𝗔) 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻" (𝗥&𝗗 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸)

Entering 2025 the participants of the Nordic Circular Design Programme has come almost halfway on their journey towards more circular products and business models.

During our first modules we have covered how to leverage the Ecodesign for Sustainable Product Regulation, how to design a great circular customer experience, how to use circular product design strategies, choosing the right materials and much more. We’ve also released a number of podcasts that are free for anyone to listen to. Make sure to follow us on LinkedIn and stay tuned for more updates until our grand finale, live in Stockholm 13 May 2025!
