Nordics on the global stage
Nordic Circular Summit 2020 was a milestone event, comprising two engaging days of interaction, inspiration, and information sharing. Since then, the Summit has brought together thousands of circularity enthusiasts with events in 2021 in Copenhagen, 2022 in Stockholm and 2023 in Reykjavik.
The NCS is organised by Nordic Circular Hotspot and Nordic Innovation and is an official World Circular Economy Forum (WCEF) Side Event. To achieve dialogue and cooperation across generations we have partnered with the youth organisation ReGeneration 2030.
