Online technical workshop

help us create social value through circular business models

  • This two-day participatory webinar is designed to provide operational tools for modelling resilient bio-based businesses and their social, economic, and environmental impacts using free AI tools.
  • Six editions are scheduled, one in each participating country. Find out all the details! 

Industrial symbiosis and bio-based business models offer powerful tools to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

To this regard, SYMBIO offers a unique opportunity to build social value into business models from the design stage. By identifying opportunities for social value creation early on and incorporating them into decision-making criteria, businesses can maximize benefits for both society and the organization.

Because shaping a greener future is a collective task, we encourage you to join our 2-day technical workshop (one in each participant's country), which will provide operational tools for modelling resilient bio-based businesses and their social, economic, and environmental impacts using free AI tools.

First session: the power of industrial symbiosis

During the first session, we will take the first steps in developing indicators that businesses can use to measure the social value of new business models. This process involves integrating a top-down understanding of sustainable development policy goals for each region with bottom-up contributions from the business community. By the end of the session, you will have achieved the following: 

  • A broader perspective. Gain a comprehensive understanding of social value indicators and their relevance to bio-based business development.
  • Practical tools. Acquire a tool that can be used within your business and with partners to facilitate discussions and planning around social value.
  • Meaningful contribution. Contribute to SYMBIO’s framework for integrating social value into bio-based circular business models.

Second session: training and playground

The second day participants will be able to discover and test the sophisticated Value Chain Generator tool. Created by VCG.AI, this platform uses artificial intelligence and big data processing to identify key elements such as regional feedstock availability, market dynamics, business models, and potential partnerships. By combining these components, companies can create a roadmap for transitioning to circular models.

Target audience

The upcoming SYMBIO workshop will be particularly beneficial for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as it will help them improve their investments, receive concrete advice, and connect with regional and international industries. Clusters will also benefit by upgrading their skills, adding new services to their portfolios, or being better equipped to assist SMEs in terms of zero-waste circular business models.

As soon as more information is available and the registration period opens, we will share the registration forms below. Don’t go too far!
