Well advised

A strong and broad network is essential for interdisciplinary topics such as circular economy. That's why we rely on cooperation and exchange with leading experts and various organizations.

In 2023 we have three voices from business & science appointed to our advisory board who support us.

With our advisory board, we regularly discuss focus areas, possible development directions and challenges. Thanks for your support!
