Opening of Halle 18-Beaulieu Circulaire

ExpériEnCe – 2nd Edition

Week for Switzerland’s Transition to a Circular Economy

According to the Circular Gap Report Switzerland, the Swiss economy is only 6.9% circular despite having the potential to significantly reduce our CO2 emissions. Therefore, we must do everything possible to accelerate our transition towards a more circular economy.

With this goal in mind, we are pleased to announce the second edition of ExpériEnCe – or the week of transition towards a circular economy – which celebrates the official opening of Halle 18–Beaulieu Circulaire, the first innovation space dedicated to the circular economy and inclusion in Switzerland.

From April 25 to 29, 2023, exciting surprises await you in our new home, covering various themes.

The program includes themed days with workshops, roundtables, and conferences offered by our partners in the circular economy to provide a unique experience for participants and to foster future collaborations that will yield new sustainable solutions.
