It’s time to bring the ecosystem together again
Join partners from across the ecosystem on the 5th of November at Epicenter in Helsinki for an afternoon of inspiration, new connections and opportunities for collaboration — and be part of launching the next phase of SHAPE.
Whether you have been part of SHAPE from the beginning or are joining the ecosystem for the first time, this is your opportunity to meet the people behind the ecosystem, discover new capabilities and explore what we could achieve together.
What to expect
This year’s event marks the beginning of the next phase of SHAPE.
Throughout the afternoon, we will combine inspiration with interaction — moving from ideas and ecosystem stories to conversations about what we can build together.
You can expect:
A first look at what’s next for SHAPE
Perspectives on remanufacturing, regenerative thinking and future business models
Interactive breakout sessions
Structured networking and matchmaking
Come prepared to share both what your organisation can contribute and what you are looking for.
