Business Turku’s Bioeconomy and Circular Economy Network and the University of Turku’s Biodiversity and Sustainability theme invite companies to a joint meeting at the University of Turku. 

The event offers a topical and practical perspective on how the circular economy, biodiversity and future foresight can support the development and growth of companies’ business. The program will include speeches by experts from the University of Turku and concrete examples of cooperation projects between companies and universities – cooperation that has brought companies new expertise, competitiveness and growth opportunities. 

The Veturi company Mirka Oy will share its views on how the circular economy can act as a significant competitive advantage, and startup entrepreneur Tiina Nyman will highlight new business opportunities related to biodiversity. 

The event offers an excellent opportunity to network with companies, universities and other key actors in the area and to find new opportunities for cooperation. The meeting is aimed at everyone interested in the bioeconomy and circular economy, especially companies that want to develop and renew their business.
