Over dit evenement
Whether you want to start your own company or prefer to work for an existing organization, Talent for Transition helps to give your circular career a flying start.
Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
Did you know that the European Union produces more than 2.5 billion tons of waste a year? Needless to say, we are producing waste at a pace much higher than the planet can decompose.
So, what is the way forward? Dive with us into the world of the circular economy and listen to inspiring speakers, go on a tour and discover BlueCity, speeddate with peers or visit the ‘Circular Harvest’ exhibition in the old pool of Tropicana.
Taste, experience and expand your network!
In addition to the program, this event offers a ‘taste of circular’ where you will be surprised by delicious snacks and drinks from the kitchens of circular entrepreneurs. While enjoying tasty products, there are extensive networking opportunities.
For whom?
This event is open for students, entrepreneurs, and anyone else who is interested in the circular economy.
