In English: Create impact with data-driven circularity

Join a 4‑week innovation sprint in a transdisciplinary team to work on real circularity and data challenges from Danish lifestyle brands.

Facilitator

Many Danish SMEs want to strengthen their sustainability efforts but struggle to collect and use their data, meet new EU requirements like the Digital Product Passport, and turn circular ambitions into real business opportunities.

 

By joining the project, you help bridge this gap — transforming complex sustainability challenges into actionable, data‑driven solutions that companies can implement now, not someday.

 

CONCEPT

You will collaborate in an interdisciplinary team formed around a specific company challenge. Partnering companies from the furniture, fashion, and accessories industries bring real sustainability issues that your team will explore and develop solutions for.

 

WHAT YOU MIGHT WORK ON

  • Strengthening companies’ data readiness for upcoming sustainability regulations
  • Exploring circular opportunities in existing business models
  • Mapping product lifecycles for transparency
  • Improving sustainability communication

 

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

Use your knowledge to tackle a real sustainability challenge in a cross‑disciplinary team. You’ll strengthen your network, earn a diploma, and gain a solid CV boost through close collaboration with a real company challenge.
