We help companies turn the circular economy into business
We help companies scale up and develop their business by giving expert advice, applying for funding and creating networks between operators. Our team of experts produces and communicates information on the best practices of the circular economy. We work in cooperation with companies, authorities and educational institutes.
A valued partner in the circular economy
The Circular Economy Centre is a renowned pioneer in its field at a national and international level. For example, we lead a nationwide network of eco-industrial parks, which offers an outlook on the entire circular economy in Finland.
The Circular Economy Centre was established by Digipolis, the Town of Kemi and Lapland University of Applied Sciences. Our key operators also include Lappia Vocational College. The Circular Economy Centre was established in partnership with the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra in 2017.
The Circular Economy Centre is headed by a multi-disciplinary steering group consisting of businesses and authorities in the field, which meets regularly. In addition to the founders of the Circular Economy Centre, the members are from various ministries, the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra, companies operating in the field of the circular economy in Lapland, and local authorities.
