This 30-minute masterclass, hosted in partnership with Cranfield University, will explore some of the skills needed to create value from the transition to a circular economy through innovation and business leadership.

Estimated to be worth $4.5trn globally, the circular economy has quickly taken hold amongst industry leaders and innovative start-ups worldwide. This online masterclass will show you how to implement the circular economy in your own organisation, by exploring multiple models of circular innovation across various business functions and industry sectors.

The masterclass will be delivered by Dr Fiona Charnley, senior lecturer in circular innovation at the Cranfield Centre for Competitive Creative Design. The masterclass will be free to watch live at 2pm on Wednesday 12 September and will be made available for anyone to watch on-demand afterwards.

  • Development of a circular strategy
  • Approaches to sustainable and collaborative Innovation

The two-day Circular Innovation and Sustainability course which this 30-minute masterclass is a taster of will then help sustainability professionals develop their own value proposition to transform an existing business or create a new circular venture.
