One of the main reasons behind slow progress in this transition is the fact that circular business models usually take place on a micro-level (individual firms), which limits their ability to realise the systemic implementation of circular economy principles that often span across firms, other stakeholders, or even entire cities and regions.\u00a0This webinar will look at these challenges from two perspectives \u2013 the creation of solutions and business models on one side and their deployment and uptake on the other. It will bring together relevant and experienced researchers, practitioners, and solution developers in the field of social innovation, creating a diverse group of speakers. Thanks to the variety of experts, it will address the different perspectives and features in social innovations from several different points of view. A panel discussion will address the development of social innovation action plans and their deployment and application.\u00a0Join us and gain insights from experts, projects, and cities leading systemic change through social innovation.
