Full program available here.

We invite you to an exciting morning event where six Danish pioneers take the stage and exemplify how their products are designed and optimized for a tighter inner circle and showcase how their circular business design moves from the sideline into the mainstream.

A new decade just started, and it is already predicted that circular economy will accelerate to a new level in 2020. Winning strategies for businesses have been proposed and circular business models have been optimized in the recent years. The next step is to mainstream circular business models and unlock the massive economic potential.

At its core, a successful circular business model starts with product design and with the aim to design out waste. On a solid inner circle follows business opportunities with room for innovation and growth. And yet, companies face roadblocks on the transformational path into mainstreaming circular economy. What are the key drivers we need to attack in 2020 to reach the next level of mainstreaming circular business models in New York versus Denmark?

Denmark is among the most efficient countries in the world when it comes to waste and resource management. The Danish waste management and resource sectors are experts at collecting and treating waste to minimize environmental impact and efficient reuse of materials.

Join us and meet six Danish companies pitching applied circularity followed by questions from a panel of American experts.

It is a pleasure, for the first time internationally to present the outcomes of Circularity City – one of the most ambitious urban circular development projects to be concluded! The last three years this public-private alliance brought together actors from all over Denmark to create the circular cities of tomorrow, focusing on value chain collaborations, upcycling, product innovation, and public procurement within architecture and construction.

At this event we will invite you to co-create the next Circularity City with us. Through a dynamic workshop, we will take a close look at how we can accelerate the construction and design sector in New York. Therefore, we invite Danish and American stakeholders to collectively join forces and turn circular ideas into actionable outcomes.

Please be advised that this workshop is focused on design and building professionals with prior knowledge within the fields of city planning, construction, architecture and/or material development.
