Together with the Ministry of Infrastructure & Environment and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, NLCH invited a limited group of participants to attend a 3-day trade mission from the 13th to the 15th of April. The attendees of the trade mission are a mixed group of representatives from government bodies, businesses and NGO’s from 18 different countries around the globe. During this 3 day trade mission, the group will become acquainted with leading examples of circular products, services and business models in The Netherlands. The program also includes a visit to the Circular Expo, located close to Schiphol Airport, where state of the art innovation projects on circular economy will be showcased. The mission will be concluded with a match making event that aims to create new relationships and inspire collaboration.
Positioning the Netherlands as a circular hotspot is a promising and necessary ambition that will inspire and connect not only the Netherlands, but also the rest of the world. The Netherlands is spearheading a movement towards a more circular economy and has become a “living lab" that provides the rest of the world with examples to learn from. Being a frontrunner in the circular economy will create benefits for both the Dutch economy as well as the society as a whole.‘The Netherlands Circular Hotspot’ campaign positions the Netherlands as an international circular hotspot during the time of the Dutch presidency of the EU in 2016. Circle Economy and prince Carlos de Bourbon de Parme (INSID) are collaborating with a diverse group of decision makers and visionaries to discuss how The Netherlands can inspire governments and international businesses to take action.Follow the trade mission and other updated from NLCH on social media!
