Circular academy is a coaching framework allowing SMES to implement circular economy principles in their business models. The circular academy toolbox includes a set of service design tools to understand the concepts of circular economy, to rethink existing business models through systems and user centered lenses, to explore systematically circular opportunities and to formulate and prototype new circular strategies.
A new coaching session started in Seraing (Belgium) in May 2015, with 12 entrepreneurs. Throughout the spring and over the summer, several collective workshops are being organised to facilitate the transition of these organisations towards circular economy.
