The lifestyle industry plays an important role in developing future solutions for extending product lifespans, reuse, and circular business models. At The Climate Festival, Lifestyle and Design Cluster will highlight the industry’s experiences, challenges, and opportunities and offer perspectives on the continued development of a more circular economy.
The Climate Festival is Denmark’s largest gathering place for dialogue on climate, resources, and future solutions. It brings together companies, knowledge institutions, organisations, politicians, and citizens to share knowledge, build connections, and help shape the direction of future development.
Visit 'Grøn livsstil' Stage on Thursday for perspectives on the role of the lifestyle industry in the green transition.
On Friday, join us at 'Fællesscenen' for the debate Second Hand Is the New New, where a strong panel will discuss how innovation, new business models, and collaboration can extend the life of clothing and make second hand a natural part of future textile consumption.
At Lifestyle and Design Cluster, we look forward to meeting companies, knowledge partners, collaborators, and other interested participants for two days of professional insights, new perspectives, and engaging conversations.
