Creative solutions and new contacts when entrepreneurs were invited to Wargön Innovation.

Can new circular ideas emerge by bringing together a bunch of creative entrepreneurs and creating a platform for new connections and collaborations?

On Tuesday, March 12, Wargön Innovation invited innovators and entrepreneurs that we collaborate with in the project Innovation environment for sustainable production and circular flows to an event at our premises in Vargön. The purpose of the day was to inspire and encourage new collaborations between the entrepreneurs. Sustainability consultant Ellen Flybäck offered inspiration and foresight while Gunn-Britt Reteike, business developer at Vänersborg Municipality, talked about the future plans for Wargön Industry and Innovation Park. During the day, three workshops were held, focusing on the textile circular value chain, the challenges and needs of entrepreneurs, and how discarded garments can be reused as high up the waste ladder as possible. The entrepreneurs were buzzing with ideas and conversations, and when the time came to end the day, many stayed to talk further.  

Thanks to all of you who made the day a great success! We look forward to the next opportunity to get together and exchange experiences.
