Thank you to all of the collaborators and speakers who made the “Circularity Gap: Meeting societal needs & preserving global resources” event at a great success. 🙌🏼

In partnership with Impact Hub Switzerland, Deloitte, Circle Economy, Circular Economy Switzerland & InTent, important and insightful discussions took place regarding different aspects of the Circular Economy. 🚀

Right now, the global economy is now only 7.2% circular. Switzerland has the necessary resources, technology, policy, and regulation support to build a consistent ecosystem for developing a circular economy. However, to scale the transition to a circular economy, purpose-driven between the public and private sectors is essential. 💡

Kickstart is proud to work with partners, investors, scaleups, and experts who are champions of collaboration, and work together to build and solutions for the future. 💪🏼

Don’t forget to save the date - 20 March - for the official launch of the Switzerland Circular Economy Report. 🇨🇭🌿 For now, you can find the Global Circularity Gap Report here: https://www.circularity-gap.world/2023 🌎
