Interesting panel discussion Circular Bioeconomy Cluster to kick off today’s Conference supported by InterTradeIreland Synergy programme. Where do you begin? Final word from session one, incorporating innovation in response to circular economy challenges is often more about incremental change rather than being disruptive. Knowing which legislative policies will affect your business enables strategic prioritisation of tasks. Considering certification as a key differentiatior from your competitor’s and a catalyst to upskill staff. But most of all, collaboration and being open to work and learn with others and from others is key. Lots of takeaways to explore further in terms of how to support SMEs on this journey. So, is the circular economy on your radar for your business? Have you begun the journey of finding out what it could mean for your products or services? Perhaps you have already taken action? Want to get involved? Why not have a conversation with InterTradeIreland or connect with the Cluster members including Catriona Power FRSA & Stephen Barry-Hannon Alison Currie Damien McConville Joanne McEvoy Niamh McGuire Michelle Billham Stuart Mathieson #circulareconomy #innovation

The recent surge in companies shifting towards sustainable business practices isn't just about green credentials or social responsibility; it signals a profound transformation in how industries value the environment and future generations. 🌱💡 At a workshop last month, I had the eye-opening experience of meeting entrepreneurs who are integrating eco-friendly solutions at the core of their business models. One compelling story was from a startup using recycled materials to produce cost-effective and durable consumer goods, dramatically reducing waste and energy consumption. Witnessing their passion and innovative approaches made it clear: sustainability is not just a trend, it's a competitive advantage. 🚀 Here's a thought: Could making a conscious decision to support sustainable businesses be the nudge that other companies need to go green?
