ESPRIX Forum 2022: The Art of Transformation

The ESPRIX Swiss Award for Excellence has been held since 1999. It offers outstanding organizations the opportunity to measure themselves against others and learn from each other. This year, the time has come again: In March, the ESPRIX assessors visited the applicants to identify strengths and potential for improvement and to assess the maturity of the organization. Based on their findings, the ESPRIX jury has now decided on the award. Who is a finalist for the ESPRIX Swiss Award for Excellence, or even who will win, remains a well-kept secret. It will be revealed at the ESPRIX Forum 2022 on June 17, 2022 at the Bürgenstock Resort.

Workshop: How can companies convincingly implement the circular economy?

In the run-up to the ESPRIX Forum 2022, the ESPRIX Excellence Suisse Foundation, öbu, the association for sustainable business, and Circular Economy Switzerland invite you to an expert workshop. What potentials do the business models "use instead of own" and "use used instead of buying new" offer? What factual and psychological challenges are associated with the implementation of these business models? And how can they be overcome? After exciting keynote speeches by Mobility and revendo AG, we will discuss these and other questions in groups. The event will be rounded off with closing remarks by Prof. Dr. Stefan Brunnhuber and networking.
