”We aim to show good practices by cases and discuss new initiatives to promote eco-industrial parks. We have interesting views from Denmark, Kalundborg area, where eco-industrial park has worked 50 years successfully”, says Director Tuomas Pussila, from Circular Economy Centre.

”We´ll look at session what´s going on here in north, because we are really in hotspot when talking about green transition and circular economy investments. For example case Infinited Fiber Company to Kemi Veitsiluoto has been noticed globally. International co-operation is one of the main topics at livesession. It is crucial in many ways”, says PR & Communication Specialist Soile Suvanto, from Circular Economy Centre.

There is also interactive part at livesession. ”We would like to hear what audience is thinking during the livesession about our topics or do they have any questions to our specialists”, Suvanto hopes.
