Mark your calendar! 

Mark your calendar for March 3rd, because we’ve planned a day you truly won’t want to miss.

The theme? Circularity - explored in depth by none other than emeritus professor Jan Jonker, a leading expert in sustainable, circular, and collective business models.

In the morning, we’ll start with the fundamentals: what are circular business models, and how do they work in practice? 

In the afternoon, we’ll take it a step further with an interactive workshop on revenue models. Together with the other participants, you'll examine and evaluate which revenue models best contribute to sustainability and circularity, as part of an international research project.

Imagine:
an economy built on collaboration, co-creation, and shared value.
 

Expect a day packed with fresh insights, inspiring conversations, and actionable takeaways.
