Accelerating the Circular Economy: The Power of Service Innovation  

Introduction

As the understanding of sustainability and circular economy principles grows, these concepts are rapidly gaining attention from governments, markets, consumers, and investors worldwide. 

They are no longer just trends or buzzwords; they are becoming imperatives that drive the evolution of industries and economies. The manufacturing sector, facing the pressure of this shift, cannot afford to remain on the sidelines.  

While the transition might appear daunting, it is also full of opportunities. The pivotal question is - how can manufacturers not only align with but actively shape this new circular economy through their service models?  

At the upcoming Executive Service Roundtable in November 2023, we delve into the viable service models and innovative strategies that can transform these challenges into opportunities, expanding our understanding of how service innovation can power the circular economy. 

• Different service models in a circular economy 
• Transforming threats into opportunities 
• Innovation strategies to navigate the circular journey
