It's Circular Forum 2018

Always in step with the latest trends, Design Week 5VIE will kick off this year with It's Circular Forum 2018, a forum dedicated to the circular economy and design. Hosted by ANCE in Via San Maurilio, in the heart of the neighborhood on the days of April 15 and 16, 2018.

It's Circular is supported by the official partner Miniwiz and counts on the participation of the main Italian and international experts in the field, from companies and institutions to entrepreneurs, researchers and designers. The aim is to return an accurate picture of the circular system today, using a pop approach to explore future scenarios related to the regenerative economic system, identify best practices and create a network of intelligences.

The forum, organized under the patronage of the Ministry of Economic Development, will see the participation of, among others, the entrepreneur Arthur Huang, the designer Matteo Ragni and the CEO of Material ConneXion Emilio Genovesi.
