The World Circular Economy Forum (WCEF) is the global initiative of Finland and the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra. Sitra, together with its partners, is proud to host the 3rd World Circular Economy Forum in Helsinki, Finland on 3-5 June 2019. The WCEF2019 will bring together around 2,000 key circular economy thinkers and doers from around the world to present the world’s best circular economy solutions. The WCEF examines how businesses can seize new opportunities, gain a competitive advantage through circular economy solutions and how the circular economy contributes to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We believe that truly competitive solutions are born when business and environment go hand in hand. The WCEF was previously held in Japan (2018) and in Finland (2017). This year the forum will have a strong emphasis on the next era of the circular economy and scaling up the transition.
