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.
