What does the changing landscape of our economy look like today?
How far have the Nordics come in the circular transition? What plans have been developed so far and are there certain Nordic focus or problem areas that need immediate attention?
The aim of this session is to make the current circular economy ambitions and plans for the Nordic region known and available to the Nordic business sector and the public so that they can start acting on them. We shall dive into some of the sectors that have come the farthest and discuss the main barriers to further progress.
