Circular Hotspot development
HCH is dedicated to developing and expanding circular hotspots globally. These hotspots serve as hubs of innovation and collaboration, bringing together local businesses, knowledge institutions, and governments to drive the transition to a circular economy. By establishing these strategic locations, we facilitate the exchange of best practices, support local market development, and create opportunities for Dutch businesses to export their circular solutions, thereby strengthening the global circular economy network.
European consortia
Holland Circular Hotspot supports Dutch businesses in connecting with partners across Europe to prepare competitive proposals for EU funding opportunities.
Our approach includes representing Dutch businesses’ specific interests in key national and international discussions and pre-competitive spaces for specific industries to explore collaboration opportunities, create networking spaces leading to consortia formation, and establish fruitful discussions to find solutions to challenges faced by those businesses.
Moderation and keynotes
Our moderators and keynotes are delivered by leading experts in the circular economy, providing inspirational and informative presentations that highlight the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in the field. These are drawn from our extensive research and practical experience, offering audiences valuable insights into how they can contribute to and benefit from the transition to a circular economy. Through engaging storytelling and thought-provoking analysis, our experts aim to motivate and empower individuals and organizations to embrace circular principles and practices.
Booster programme
Our booster programmes are designed to highlight circular collaboration opportunities in your country or region and involve the right stakeholders. Through accessible information about markets and opportunities, we help Dutch businesses navigate international activity, as well as local stakeholders to link up with potential business or knowledge partners from the Netherlands.
In the booster programme, we focus on two items:
1. An inventory of business opportunities linked to circular economy in the market, on three preselected topics, aimed at international collaboration with the Netherlands. This study will be published as a 2-pager and as an extended country focus page on HCH’s website.
2. A sector-specific webinar or in-person event focusing on circular opportunities, best practices and match-making, as a follow-up after the publication of the 2-pager.
