Building a Data-Driven Circular Economy: Insights from Germany

Data and effective data governance are key in facilitating the transition towards a circular economy, enabling the management of complex material flows and the scaling of innovative circular business models. As a strong advocate for using digitalization strategically in the circular economy, Germany has initiated significant partnerships and projects in this arena. In this accelerator session, we aim to explore Germany's approach in building a data-driven circular economy, including the National Circular Economy Strategy, and discuss forthcoming steps with politics, industry, and civil society experts.
