Vietnam Circular Economy in Action 2022

While circular innovation has gathered momentum across the globe in recent years, what circular business models are adopted by innovators and entrepreneurs in Vietnam? What are the required thinking and action to drive forward circularity?

This webinar will highlight:

• Some innovators and entrepreneurs with circular business models in Vietnam
• Organisational requirements in terms of capacities and mindset to drive towards circularity

The two panels entailed will consist of eight entrepreneurs, academia and non-profits adopting circular approaches in designing, manufacturing, and recycling across several industries (F&B, textile, agriculture, architecture, etc).

The discussions will focus on the state of circularity in Vietnam and also elaborate on the obstacles faced by entrepreneurs, academia and non-profits and how they cope with the challenges to become more circular.
