Helsinki-Uusimaa Circular Transition Arena – Sharing economy and sustainable use of built space

The Helsinki-Uusimaa Circular Transition Arena connected various civil society and small business actors with the region’s Circular Hub initiative and representatives of the municipalities in the region. The Helsinki-Uusimaa Circular Hub forms an innovation ecosystem of expert organisations, municipalities, companies and research institutes, all working towards systemic change and new business opportunities based on a circular economy. The transition arena workshops focused especially on sharing economy and the sustainable use of built space.

As an immediate result of the process, a social impact measurement tool will be developed and piloted with 1-3 NGOs. The tool will help measure the economic value of the social impact of non-profit activities. It aims to demonstrate why it is valuable to support and enable spaces to non-profit actors. This will offer new information to local actors, decision-makers and representatives of regional and local authorities.

The Regional Council will organise a series of events for the municipalities, civil society and innovation actors to share concrete experiences and tips related to shared use of buildings.
