Circularity – How to make it work. The holistic perspective of business model, materials, manufacturing, technology and scale. A conversation, between a:gain, Stykka and NORNORM. The Danish Circularity Gap report found that Denmark is only 4% circular. The very low number points to the vast number of challenges we face in the transition to circularity. Most aspects of our current patterns and processes need rethinking to get there. In this conversation we will talk with three innovative companies that work with upcycling and material innovation, manufacturing and product development and service and logistics solutions with a high level of technology implementation in most steps. The three companies work with circularity as their foundation – and are gaining scale and traction with their solutions. Join a:gain, Stykka and NORNORM for a conversation on how to make Circularity work – how to make it scalable and viable.

Talk - Unveiling Strategies to Accelerate Circularity in the Lifestyle Industry

We have assembled a group of circular transition pioneers in Denmark to delve into recommendations for accelerating circularity within the lifestyle industry to follow up on interventions for the Lifestyle industry in the Circularity Gap Report for Denmark. During a round table event, 40 industry leaders engaged in discussions about urgent measures to expedite the transition. In our discussion, we will elaborate on some of these measures and explore their possibilities and implementation timeframes for an ambitious circular strategy. Come and join the discussion. Panel: some of the brands you can meet in this panel talk are Carl Hansen & son, Fritz Hansen, Keepr facilitated by Lifestyle & Design Cluster

Talk - Circular Design: Learning from Nature

Talk - Green transition vs. sensitivity: The transversal work in the furniture industry

We're facing a central conflict between green transition and business sensitivity. On the one hand, there's increasing pressure on companies in the furniture industry to reduce their environmental impact and conduct their business more responsibly. On the other hand, companies face challenges in sharing sensitive data with their customers and potential competitors. But recognizing the need to make progress in green transition, there's a growing understanding that this information sharing is crucial. Join us for an insightful discussion on navigating the delicate balance between green transition and business sensitivity in the furniture industry! Discover how companies like TAKT are addressing the central conflict by working with Målbar and Bureau Veritas on finding actionable solutions in their work with the green transition.

Talk - Designing for the Future

-How to build the future by design Professor Mariana Mazzucato from the University College London writes on the book Expand: Stretching the Future by Design: “In this book, Jens Martin Skibsted and Christian Bason contend that now is the time to widen the design discourse to take on the grand, complex challenges of tomorrow.” The authors write: “The world is screaming out for new solutions to tackle the myriad problems and mitigate their consequences. This calls for innovation – bold, new approaches that can be adopted by people, businesses, public organizations, NGOs, and even international bodies. Panel: Jens Martin Skibsted TBA TBA Moderating all talks: Marie-Louise Høstbo

Talk - From Tradition to Transformation

Craft's role in circular economy design Join the Danish Design Council for an inspiring journey 'From Tradition to Transformation: Craft's Role in Circular Economy Design.' In this enlightening event, we'll explore how traditional craftsmanship intertwines with modern design practices to shape a more responsible future. With a special focus on materials, we'll delve into how craft and material sensibility can drive circular economy principles. Engage with leading experts, designers, and artisans as we uncover the pivotal role of craft. Don't miss this opportunity to discover how the Danish design tradition is paving the way for circular innovation and transformation in design. After the talk we invite to drinks in the garden.

Talk - Design education of the future

Design education of the future - the radical sustainable restructuring of society calls for strong design skills We are facing a radical green transformation of society. In an international perspective, Denmark is considered a design nation; there is no Danish business promotion without design also being part of the agenda. The transition towards a sustainable society calls for strong design competencies, both analytical, methodological, and in terms of crafting. We need designers who can visualize and shape an attractive sustainable future and translate new technologies into everyday human needs. To maintain Denmark's position as a design nation in an increasingly knowledge-intensive and high-tech world, it is crucial that we have an internationally competitive graduate education in design. Otherwise, we lose ground, and our design education programs suffer, putting us at risk of losing an important innovative force in the sustainable transformation. Panels TBA later
