What is the Nordic Circular Summit?

Nordic Circular Summit is the biggest conference on circular economy in the Nordics. It invites an international audience of policy-makers and business representatives to explore the circular opportunities of the Nordic region.

The Summit offers talks, debates, and discussions on nature and biodiversity, circular societies, material flows and supply chains, regenerative models and materials, economy and finance, energy and resources, construction, circular action plans and much more. The Summit broadcasting platform, myOnvent, is set up for matchmaking, online exhibitions and dialogues, giving the digital audience an opportunity to interact with the speakers and other participants throughout the event.

From homes and offices across the Nordic region—as well as the Summit venue —companies, organisations and expert speakers will be contributing to the dialogue, leveraging the diversity, knowledge and variations of our countries to make the best out of our joint potential. The Summit will explore how the circular economy plays out in diverse Nordic places, across national borders—shaping the community, embracing the variations in our backgrounds, and building upon them for a successful, sustainable future.

Nordic Circular Summit is hosted by Nordic Circular Hotspot and Nordic Innovation. Nordic Circular Hotspot is a collaboration project with the mission to accelerate the transition to a circular economy in the Nordics. The project is run by a board of Managing Partners from all five Nordic countries.
