CIRCULAR CONCEPTS
The Pirkanmaa region Entrepreneurial Boost program (Yrittäjyysbuusti) is available for current part-time circular economy entrepreneurs, and newly started full-time entrepreneurs. We love to help and boost the business of entrepreneurs working with circular solutions and products, so check out the info.
We can work with individual people: are you about to open or already running a small recycling or upcycling business or shop? Are you offering an innovative circular service or product? We can help.
We can also work with large and small companies. See an industrial example below.
(Suomeksi hieman lisätietoa, some additional info on our service is available in Finnish here.)
What we are working on, and what we could do with you too:
We worked with OC-System Ltd to launch an experimental project: implementing new heating technology in a factory production line, in accordance with the principles of circularity (late 2022 – early 2023)
Our recent circular economy report for the North Savo Energy Cluster was published online in Finnish (alternatively click here)
We created a randomized combination generator that helps in ideating new ways to implement circularity (available by request)
