Do You Want to Build a StartUp Around the Circular Economy?

​A new way of thinking about business and the planet is shaping the future—and students like you can be part of it. This interactive workshop introduces school students to the Circular Economy, showing how innovative ideas can reduce waste, reuse resources, and design smarter solutions for real-world problems.

​You’ll explore exciting global innovations such as biomimicry, sustainable materials, and creative circular design ideas. Working in small teams, you’ll choose a theme, identify a problem, and collaborate in a fast-paced, sprint-style activity to develop simple, practical solutions.

​Along the way, you’ll also learn the basic principles of building a startup—how ideas are formed, tested, improved, and shared. This workshop is about thinking creatively, working together, and imagining how young innovators can help design a better, more sustainable future.
