Circular Economy Think Tank Event
Event description
Invite only event
As part of the Hunter Innovation Festival on the 10th May, Go Circular is partnering with Sustainability Advantage, DPIE, Lake Macquarie City Council, Hunter Joint Organisation, The University of Newcastle, Newcastle Institute for Energy and Resources and Coreo to facilitate a Think Tank with pioneering local businesses, bold community leaders and proactive members of local government and state government. No one has all the answers, but in reality, what we’re hoping for is all the questions – questions to move this conversation from data to doing, from theory to practice, and from curiosity to collaboration.
The objectives of the event are to:
Learn -about the material flows in the region and the benefits that a true Circular Economy can bring over the next 5-25 years
Identify opportunities – from the HCC MFA and the new ‘Circle City Scan’ projects to identify resourcing saving and untapped market development value in the region.
Build relationships – together with businesses, industry, research and government to share information and identify catalytic projects with the aim to drive innovative initiatives to build the circular economy.
Identify gaps -in knowledge and resourcing that can feedback to CE community and inform future projects; and,
Plan – a process for turning outputs into action – how are we going to go forward in our respective sectors and organisations?
Register to be a part of the new economy, one that serves the people of the Hunter rather than demanding their service.
Our future is circular. Where will you draw the line?
