CIRKLA Innovation Community
Shaping Circular Innovation Across Borders
The transition to a circular economy is a systemic transformation. This transformation brings new requirements for product design, business models, supply chains, and policy frameworks. Addressing these challenges requires cross-sector collaboration, interdisciplinary knowledge exchange, and entirely new ways of working together.
As part of the UniGR-CIRKLA Interdisciplinary Centre of Expertise, the Innovation Community aims to bring together actors from research, industry, policy, and civil society across the Greater Region. It creates a collaborative space where knowledge, ideas, and experience come together to support circular innovation.
At its core, the Innovation Community is more than a network. It is a space for co-creation and innovation. By bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise, it fosters the development of new ideas, accelerates innovation, and helps translate circular economy concepts into real-world solutions for the region.
