We are all facing an interesting and challenging sustainability challenge! Every company regardless of sector or product will invest heavily in the coming years to make its product portfolio more sustainable, its production processes or both. The reason to become more sustainable can be different for everyone. Because of government measures, because of scarcity of raw materials, because your customers demand it or because you yourself are intrinsically motivated to do business more sustainably than you do today. The only question is; where and how to start?
Do you want to take your first or next step towards more circular business? Do you want to explore your opportunities to increase your competitiveness, create new value and explore new forms of value chains? We help you move forward!
Sign up for one of the CIRCO tracks we are organizing. You will then discover in three half-day sessions where your opportunities lie to become more circular in business.
During the CIRCO track we bring you and other Limburg entrepreneurs together and let you gain knowledge of circular entrepreneurship and circular design under the guidance of two experienced CIRCO trainers, from your own challenge and motivation. During this track you will look for ecological and economic opportunities for your organization. At the end of the track you walk out the door with a new (innovative) sustainable proposition including an action plan.
The CIRCO track is primarily intended for Limburg SMEs that want to be inspired about their circular opportunities and take concrete steps in the field of circular entrepreneurship.
With enough participating SMEs, large companies are also welcome to participate.
You are striving for cost reduction in your business processes? Towards a more future-proof business model? To a stronger position in the market? And you wonder if this can be done in a sustainable way? Then this workshop cycle is ideally suited for you.
What does it deliver?
A minimum of 6 and a maximum of 10 companies participate in this Track. To make the best use of the Track, a minimum of two participants per company is required. Preferably a duo of Creation (designer or engineer) and Commercial (sales, marketing or business development).
There is a lot of added value in the interaction between the two disciplines during the process. After all, a CIRCO Track is about redesigning your product as well as your business model.
The total cost for the entire track is € 2,200 excl. VAT per participating company For this amount, a minimum of two and a maximum of four persons per company can follow the full track.
For SMEs, there is an attractive discount on the participation fee of 75%. Therefore the participation fee is only € 550,- excl. The only condition is that you submit an application form with an extensive and clear motivation why you and your company want to participate. And only when there is sufficient budget.
