Today more than ever, innovation must go hand in hand with two fundamental priorities: minimizing the impact on the natural environment and maximizing the social benefits. But how can circular economy be implemented in an international business context?
Find out more at the CE2 Lab in Novazzano. Geomagworld SA plays a leading role in finding solutions to these problems. The joint Lab of NZZ Connect and Switzerland Global Enterprise, with the support of SUPSI, Rytec Circular and the Ticino Chamber of Commerce, starts with an immersion into the Geomag world, whereby participants have the chance to visit the plant as well as participate at a creation workshop. The program then continues with a keynote introduction on circularity in an international business followed by three parallel workshops.
