AI as an Enabler for Circular Business

Deep-Dive from Circular Business Lab at RISE

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, the shift towards circular business models is a necessity. Traditional linear models of “take, make, dispose” must be replaced by more sustainable practices that emphasize reuse, remanufacturing, recycling and regeneration. 

With AI, we have the potential to enhance this transformation, offering innovative solutions that can improve efficiency, reduce waste and create new value streams.

In this seminar, we will dive into the role of AI in circular business practices. You’ll learn how AI technologies can be used to optimize resource use, improve product lifecycle management and facilitate the development of new, circular business models.
