The second annual seminar of La Fabrique Circulaire will be held on 7 November 2023 from 10am to 1.30pm at Hyperaktiv in Renens. The event is free and open to all entrepreneurs and their representatives, interested in or active in the circular economy, for a moment of inspiration, exchange and encounters.
Meet the pioneering entrepreneurs of the circular economy
La Fabrique Circulaire, the circular economy project accelerator designed and run by dss+ for Swiss SMEs, is inviting entrepreneurs from French-speaking Switzerland and their representatives who are pioneering the circular economy in their sector of activity.
The annual seminar is a unique opportunity to discover the benefits of the circular economy for SMEs, through the presentation of concrete projects carried out by the winning SMEs in the programme. It's also a great opportunity for networking and socialising. After bringing together 120 entrepreneurs from French-speaking Switzerland at Hi.Flow in Plan-Les-Ouates for the 2022 seminar, in 2023 Raphaël Lutz, a leading figure in Swiss design and Swiss made, will be hosting the seminar at his Hyperaktiv agency in Renens.
During the seminar, the Circular Factory team will be showcasing its expertise and tools to help SMEs transform their business models towards an economy that uses less energy, materials and resources.
It's also a great opportunity to hear from entrepreneurs in the construction, agri-food, manufacturing, energy and service industries. It's also a chance to meet the beneficiary SMEs and the alumni of the Circular Factory, and to ask the programme's promoters and beneficiaries about the reality of their projects, which are making the circular economy a reality in their business.
About La Fabrique Circulaire
The circular economy is a lever for competitiveness and innovation for Swiss SMEs: 75% consider sustainability to be an important issue, yet they lack the resources and expertise to take action. La Fabrique Circulaire, a support programme unique in Switzerland, was created to provide pragmatic solutions to the challenges facing businesses in terms of resource and energy management. Launched in Geneva in June 2021, La Fabrique Circulaire is an independent programme run by dss+. As well as providing individual technical expertise, La Fabrique Circulaire is building its success on the collective dimension: the beneficiary SMEs are sharing their experiences and developing synergies.
