The transition from a linear to a circular economy is critical to addressing environmental challenges, moving away from a “take, make, dispose” model toward “closing the loop” systems—especially recovery and recycling models. This means creating circular systems in which products and materials are reused, repaired, remanufactured, or recycled into new products, minimizing waste by designing out pollution. It is a systemic approach to the economy designed to benefit businesses, society, and the environment. Companies are increasingly tapping into these opportunities by designing business models that generate value through recovery and recycling for multiple lifecycles.

Through this session, we aim to provide a clear vision of recovery and recycling. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about real projects developed by SMEs and to hear first-hand experiences from companies that have implemented more circular business models through recovery and recycling strategies.

In the final part of the session, you will be able to identify strategic partnerships to develop your project, as well as learn about training and funding opportunities that will help you implement actions related to the circular economy.

SustainableSolutionsMatch is a cross-sectoral virtual event with a focus on enabling transition of European enterprises towards a sustainable and circular economy. It combines pitching sessions on specific sectors/topics with virtual B2B meetings, where solution providers and solution seekers can connect.

The objective of this activity is to promote sustainable innovation opportunities to companies in line with (but not limited to) the EU transition pathways for the industrial ecosystems. We want to give the stage to tech-savvy SMEs that bring relevant sustainable/circular solutions to the market to increase their visibility. We want to support these sustainable solution providers to connect to companies that can strengthen their sustainability by applying the presented solutions.

The target audience are all kind of companies and institutions interested to innovate towards a sustainable and circular economy.

This event is organised by the Enterprise Europe Network in cooperation with the Horizon Europe project Up2Circ.

The annual Vaasa EnergyWeek is the largest energy cluster event in the Nordic countries, focusing on renewable energy, smart energy, clean gas energy and energy storage. Topics of interest include digitalization, batteries and storage, circular economy, future smart cities, energy regulation, business and innovation.

Enterprise Europe Network organizes a free-of-charge onsite B2B matchmaking event during the EnergyWeek. The matchmaking welcomes companies and experts from all sectors of the energy industry. The onsite face-to-face meetings take place on the 4th floor of the Vaasa City Hall. In the matchmaking, you have a chance to discuss with potential business/technology/research partners in onsite pre-scheduled meetings. Pre-scheduled 20-minute meetings are perfect for making first impressions and new contacts!

Thanks to more resilient and efficient use of resources, eco-design aims to minimise the environmental impact of products and services from the design stage onwards and throughout their value chains. It takes into account all environmental effects: consumption of water, energy and raw materials, impact on biodiversity and global warming, etc.

Companies in all sectors are concerned by this innovative approach, which applies to all stages of the product or service life cycle: from the supply of raw materials, through manufacturing, logistics and use, to end of life.

Sustainable enterprise begins with the manufacture of your products.

A main inefficiency of the linear economy are short product lifecycles. Products are often on purpose designed for limited usability, lacking repairability, upgradability or reusability. Value quickly turns to waste.

But when resources, products, and systems are not fully utilized, this causes a value gap to the economy. With resources getting scarce and climate change challenging all sectors to cut down on emissions, extending product lifetime is crucial and promises multiple benefits:

• Environmental Impact: Significantly reduces carbon emissions, water usage, and waste generation by lowering the need for new production.
• Economic Value: Retains the value of materials and labor for longer, creating opportunities for new, service-oriented business models.
• Resource Efficiency: Secures supply chains by reducing the demand for new, virgin resources.

The session will introduce to key concepts for extending product lifetime:

• Repair and Maintenance: Offering repair services, spare parts, and, documentation to fix products instead of replacing them.
• Refurbishment and Remanufacturing: Restoring used products to a like-new condition, extending their functional life.
• Upgradability: Allowing components and software to be replaced or improved throughout product lifecycle rather than replacing the entire unit.
• Secondhand Market & Reuse: Facilitating the resale, redistribution, or sharing of products to ensure they reach their full potential lifespan.

Following an introduction to the content, participants will have the opportunity to hear first-hand experiences from companies that have recently implemented measures to extend product lifetime.

In the final part of the session, you will be able to identify strategic partnerships to develop your project, as well as learn about training and funding opportunities that will help you implement actions related to the circular economy.

This interactive session explores how Product-as-a-Service (PaaS) business models can accelerate the transition toward a circular economy by shifting value creation from product sales to long-term service provision. Through concrete case examples, participants will examine how PaaS models enable companies to retain ownership of products, optimise resource use, and design for durability, repairability, and end-of-life recovery.
