We equip companies with the knowledge and capabilities to adopt circular practices through comprehensive training programs delivered in person and online. For more information, please refer to the "About" section and explore the Circular Economy Alliance curriculum.

We combine strategic research, sustainability expertise and circularity to implement our services in EU projects on topics related to green transition, sustainable industries, blue growth and the water-energy-food nexus. We aim to enhance the sustainable competitiveness of industry and marine-related sectors. We integrate economic, environmental and social aspects into the projects we participate in or evaluate as external evaluators, ensuring a positive impact on the project. Interested in a research project? Let's discuss matchmaking and consortium opportunities.
We engage you and your team to identify and co-create new sector-specific business opportunities based on circular principles. Such opportunities enable your organisation to address climate change challenges and mitigate adverse impacts, while offering new, future-proof products and services that create sustainable value, improve resilience and circularity performance, and comply with new regulations. We help you to integrate circularity principles and economic, environmental, and social values into your business model to positively impact your value network and business ecosystem.
Our self-assessment tools provide a set of criteria you can use to evaluate your business activities and level of sustainable growth. The tools encourage dialogue about strengths, weaknesses and gaps, and facilitate reporting and decision-making about more sustainable options and new strategic directions. Contact us to explore the best tool for your organisation's needs.
