Building Next Practices for Sustainability & Circularity
Barcelona • 18-20 September 2024
hosted by
and
Join a Deep-Dive together with a group of 50+ experienced participants from large multinationals (only) to take innovation for Sustainability, Circularity and Net Zero to the next level – through a rigorous process characterized by creative work with lots of peer exchange.
During the Deep-Dive Lab (19-20 September) participants will form workgroups, build rudimentary next practices, and establish connections. This enables them to work jointly after the event, where the work continues in subgroups to implement and further develop the practices.
Preceding the 2-day Deep-Dive is an Innovation Roundtable® event hosted by ESADE Business School on the topics of “Foresighting & Innovation for Sustainability”, attended by 150+ corporate innovation professionals: a great opportunity to be inspired in building relevant discussion topics for the subsequent two days, and to connect with a larger community of like-minded peers.
