RECAP: “CIRCULAR ECONOMY INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP”
On June 19, 2024, we completed the final session of the Circular Economy Innovation & Entrepreneurship Program. The program attracted a diverse group of participants, ranging from university students and lecturers to businesses, investors
The program focused on introducing participants to the process of circularization, new developments in circular business models, and how to analyze and take advantage of their strengths to apply circular economy principles. We also organized networking sessions between participants and businesses with circular economy models such as VinaStraws, SDvico, and UPGREEN Vietnam. With their own experiences, these three businesses served as exemplary case studies, providing participants with clear perspectives on the practical application of the circular economy.
Additionally, following the program, we received two challenges from participating businesses that want to begin circularizing their business processes or innovating their business models towards circularity. These challenges will pave the way for future programs by KisStartup and KisImpact to further bring the circular economy into business practice. At the end of the training program, we will take time to complete and update the 2024 version of the training materials.
We sincerely thank the lecturers, businesses, and students for their participation, helping us to continue improving the 2024 version of the materials.
