Circular Buildings event 16.6. – Results from the key pilots in the Helsinki metropolitan area
Join us to hear what’s happening in the scene of circular construction, told by the companies themselves.
Time: 16 June, 2026 at 12.00-14.00 hrs
Place: in Teams
Organisers: the Circular Economy Cluster Helsinki and the Circular Buildings project
In the Circular Buildings innovation challenge, companies were invited to develop new solutions for extending building lifecycles, reusing materials and making better use of existing spaces. The winner solutions have now been piloted in Helsinki, Espoo and Vantaa.
At this event, you’ll gain insights from these key pilots: what worked, what needs further development and what kind of new opportunities circular economy offers for cities and businesses.
We’ll also hear results from Nordic cooperation pilots, where new solutions have been tested within the Nordic Smart City Network.
This event is brought to you by the Circular Economy Cluster Helsinki & the Circular Buildings project, which is co-funded by the EU.
