On 15 November 2024, the Circular Valley Forum marked the third event in the Impact Allianz Events series. The event took place at the Historische Stadthalle Wuppertal, an impressive venue that brought together over 1,200 decision-makers from various sectors. Participants included members of the federal and state governments and CEOs of large companies as well as innovative small and medium-sized enterprises. The forum provided important impetus for the promotion of the circular economy on several levels and received broad support for this. The Impact Allianz was proud to be represented on the podium by Prof. Dr. Britta Gossel and Prof. Dr. Jelena Spanjol. During the Circular Valley Forum, the Impact Allianz took the opportunity to present its vision and strategic goals to a broad audience. In numerous discussions, we were able to make important contacts and gather new impetus for the further development of our initiative.
The day before the Circular Valley Forum, the Impact Allianz had already met in the beautiful Startup Centre at the University of Wuppertal to develop strategic plans and discuss the next steps in a small group. One focus of our work is the development of a position paper that clarifies our definition of ‘impact’ and describes our values and goals. With this paper, we want to promote sustainable transformation by pooling resources, expertise and networks in order to achieve long-term positive effects for companies, society and the environment. This also includes promoting innovation and supporting global sustainability goals.
With its diverse agenda, the Circular Valley Forum provided an inspiring platform for discussing and advancing these topics. The Historic Stadthalle, known for its magnificent architecture and excellent acoustics, lent the event a special atmosphere. We are thrilled to incorporate the insights and contacts gained into our future work to actively shape the future of the circular economy. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to shape impactful solutions for a sustainable future!
