Welcome to CIRC-2-ZERO project webinar!
EU Circular Economy and Business Opportunities – What SMEs Need to Know Now

Across the EU, new policies and frameworks are continuously shaping the business environment – especially in relation to circular economy and sustainability. In this webinar, we will explore what these changes mean in practice for SMEs, how to prepare for them proactively, and how they can open up new business opportunities.
This perspective will be introduced by Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Sirpa Pietikäinen in her keynote speech.
The webinar is particularly relevant for SMEs in the electronics and engineered wood products (EWP) sectors.
