  • Use design thinking and creative problem solving tools to develop new ideas and concepts over a two day period
  • Support and guidance in product development to test with users
  • Receive mentoring support from circular economy experts USEL
  • Become part of a circular economy hub to learn from like-minded social enterprises and circular economy professionals
