For our next Furniture, Architecture & Built Environment (FABE) Circle event, we're very pleased to be showcasing local Swiss start-ups and businesses working on circular economy solutions in furniture, architecture & the built environment.
It's been said that the future is circular - but what exactly does this mean? In this event we'll meet people who are working hard to innovate and transform our society to one that is a closed-loop system, minimising the use of resource inputs and the creation of waste, pollution and carbon emissions.
This event has two parts:
14:00 - 15:30 Online Presentations by Entrepreneurs
An online event livestreamed from the Impact Hub Basel, where you'll be inspired by presentations from a number of entrepreneurs:
Aeternum - modular structural systems for building re-use
Dedomena - smart urban analytics
Enoki - wood-ID modular building concept
FINK Studio - circular 'cloud' chair from recycled mattresses
CivAG - sustainable, circular furniture rental
LIVO - modular, self-sufficient tiny homes
Oxara - transforming excavation materials into sustainable building products
Reverse - circular product and service design
The presentations will be followed by Q&A and break-out groups for more in-depth discussion.
16:30 - 18:30 In-person Apéro in Basel
An in-person apero at the Impact Hub / Cafe Spurlos, whee you'll get to meet the entrepreneurs and connect with others working on these themes. Join us for a drink and be inspired.
You may attend either or both parts of the event, please select in the next step.
The event will mainly be in English, though some start-ups may give a short presentation in German or French.
