We are on the constant lookout to support Nordic, circular economy startups! The circular economy will play a key role in reaching global sustainable goals and a more resource-efficient economy driven by renewable energy. Quite often, companies can benefit from more profit through circular business models than a linear model, if they can capitalize on the higher efficiency. Many entrepreneurs already know that, and we are here to help them!
