Virtual InnoDays #CircularEconomy 2020

At the virtual InnoDays Vienna, 120+ participants and 40+ experts came together to create new products and business model using plastic resources. The InnoDays provided a platform to turn ideas into prototypes in 48 hours. Our focus for the Vienna edition was on the topic of the Circular Economy. Given the COVID-19 pandemic, we ran the Vienna edition fully online. We used the opportunity to go beyond the physical, and embrace the digital to work together to tackle important challenges.
