The circular economy as a competitive factor

The aim of the webinar is to discuss the significance of the circular economy for business practice in the D-A-CH countries – Germany, Austria and Switzerland. To this end, the results of representative surveys of companies on the importance and implementation of the circular economy in the D-A-CH countries – Germany, Austria and Switzerland – will first be presented and discussed in a comparative manner. This will be followed by a virtual panel discussion exploring practical perspectives on the significance, challenges and implementation of the circular economy from a business perspective. The discussion will address potential similarities and differences within the D-A-CH region, as well as whether cross-border or even Europe-wide initiatives could provide support for businesses undergoing this transformation.
