Course Objectives

Accelerate your business's transition to a circular economy with this hands-on Circular Design Sprint. The circular economy is a transformative approach to sustainability. It aims to move away from the traditional linear "take-make-waste" model and instead focuses on keeping resources in use for as long as possible, extracting maximum value, and minimising waste and environmental impact.

The 3-day design sprint is based on the academic framework (CIRCO) developed by the Technical University, Delft, the Netherlands. The programme equips participants with actionable frameworks and tools to reimagine products, services, and processes in a sustainable way.

The sprint format provides a supportive environment for participants to explore circular design strategies and business models relevant to their own organisation and co-create innovative solutions. Under the guidance of industry experts, real-life business challenges are explored and concrete steps for new circular initiatives are mapped out.
