Connecting Our Digital Circular Future – Online Session

Presented by Mercularis and Circular Centre plus Adetex.CST

Creating micro-economies which are further linked to form a true Circular Economy would help alleviate several challenges per UN Sustainable Development Goals. Such an aspiration requires technical and local knowledge of data, creation of novel metrics, and harnessing advancements in areas such as sensors and cutting-edge AI to provide information and answers for industries and individuals.

Mercularis is proud to co-design and present a panel session with a cross-section of leading industry and academic experts. Join them in discussing data opportunities, barriers, and solutions to data challenges, facilitating digital transformation of circular economies at scale, and overall creating inclusive solutions for a more secure and sustainable future.
