LOOP Forum is the largest arena for circular economy actors in the Nordic, explains Lari Sirén from the Helsinki Circular Economy Cluster.

The event and the delegation were highly successful in every way, says Enni Karikoski, Head of Sustainability at Peikko Group.
– For Ruokomestarit, the event offered a unique opportunity to gain international visibility in interesting Nordic markets. It also led to the creation of concrete customer relationships.
