Event details
This first meeting will be an opportunity to discuss the different components of the circular economy, its levers, and the challenges of this new economic model. Our two speakers for the day will be:
Emmanuelle Ledoux, General Director of the National Institute of Circular Economy (INEC).
Francine Turck, Investment Manager at the Regional Investment Company of Wallonia (SRIW).
The Circular Wallonia Strategy supports the transition to a circular economic model in order to provide concrete solutions for optimizing resource use and combating climate change. In addition to reducing resource waste and our environmental impact, the circular economy offers businesses sustainable opportunities for innovation and competitiveness.
Through these Circular Economy Meetings, we aim to address public actors in Wallonia as well as organizations that support businesses. Our goal is to raise awareness and develop a common understanding of the circular economy and its challenges, in order to better integrate it into their actions and processes. However, these meetings are also open to anyone curious to learn more about this concept!
They will take place every quarter. Over time, the various levers of the circular economy will be explored in depth, enabling participants to expand their knowledge and skills.
