Networking Event RE:DESIGN - Making the circular economy happen
We are excited to invite you to an inspiring networking event dedicated to the important role of ecodesign in shaping a more sustainable future.
Join us on Tuesday 18th of February PM for our event RE:DESIGN, a unique networking event, with stakeholders from all Belgian regions and across sectors to discover how ecodesign can unlock opportunities for your company by combining cost-efficiency, innovation and sustainability.
