Week of the Circular Economy
Circular Economy Week is the largest national inspiration and networking event for and by (budding) circular entrepreneurs. Also in Tilburg, from March 11 to 16, there is a week full of talks, tours, excursions and workshops.
This week is a recurring event that focuses on raising awareness and encouraging circularity initiatives. We took a moment to list all the events in Tilburg from this cool week for you:
A look at circularity in government
When: Monday, March 11, 10:00 - 12:30
Location: Municipality of Tilburg, Tilburg, Stadhuisplein 130, 5038 TC
In our entrepreneurial municipality, we understand that stuff is made for us and that this costs raw materials and energy. The goal? Above all, use what is already there. This by engaging with other municipalities and government organizations to discover how we can contribute to a circular economy together. We discuss topics such as circular building, the opportunities that a circular economy offers and what role the municipality plays in this. And we like to share our experiences and insights from the evaluation of our circular economy program.
Don't want to miss this event? You can participate for free! The registration form will follow, but you can already register yourself through this email address.
