🎉 We are excited to share that we have a new website!! 🎉 After several months of hard work, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new website! This exciting development brings together all the valuable information from our previous sites and introduces key improvements that we believe will enhance your experience. Our new website is the result of merging NordicCircularHotspot.org and NordicCircularSummit.com into one platform. One of the highlights of the new site is the enhanced access to our extensive archive of circularity-related content. Over the past five years, we have built a rich collection of webinars and sessions from Nordic Circular Summit and other events. While this content remains available on MyOnvent, we are also working to integrate it directly into our website to make it accessible to an even wider audience. Community remains at the heart of what we do, and our new website is optimized to help our partners showcase their work and connect with each other. We are committed to fostering valuable relationships within our network, and this platform is designed to support those efforts. We hope you enjoy the new site as much as we do! Big thank you to Feed Oslo for the amazing work on developing this site. Specially Svale Fossåskaret Fredrik Søgaard and Henrik Wold Kraglund! _______________________ Cradlenet Lifestyle & Design Cluster Einar Kleppe Holthe Juraj Kocar Kristian Sande Johnsrud Cathrine Barth Martin Hagen Rune Yndestad Møller Fredrik Hæreid
