Most of today's successful businesses still work according to the "take-make-dispose" pattern with its linear connection between production, consumption and waste. But more sustainable competition is growing, and it looks like time is ripe for the first European circular frontrunners to challenge the current business logic and quickly gain market share.
The masterclass gives inside and understanding on how these circular frontrunners innovate and what makes them successful. Using 4 new successful industrial business cases as inspiration, the masterclass offers a practical approach for companies, designers and entrepreneurs to follow in the frontrunners footsteps and explore the growing opportunities that a more circular economy offers.

The masterclass is a combined effort between Antwerp Management School & the renowned Institute of Management at the University of St. Gallen, based on the newest insides from ongoing research on Circular Economy. It is offered to you by Interreg project TRIPOD ll.

The masterclass will be given by doctoral researcher Fabian Takacs form University of St. Gallen – Switzerland and innovation expert Roel De Rijck from Antwerp Management School.
