The session will begin with keynotes by Stefano Soro on European Commission actions on the circularity of products and Anne Raudaskoski from Ethica on export and local business opportunities in a circular economy, followed by a panel discussion that explores what kind of support in research, investments and knowledge is needed in order for micro and small companies to move towards circularity.
