STRENGTHENING THE SWISS CIRCULAR ECONOMY DISCOURSE – CALL FOR ACTION

The implementation of business ideas is demanding. Only 50% of start-up companies survive the first 5 years after foundation. Factors for this development are the quality stability in the production chain, the demands and wishes of investors, the product selection, and the time of market launch. Also, new legislations in the EU and Switzerland and the global scarcity of resources require circular business models in the future. But how can circular business ideas be linked with known quality management tools to overcome these hurdles?

Within the framework of a white paper series, the answers to these and other questions from the start-up community on the topic of circular economy and quality management will be answered. In short Q&A sessions with experts, an attempt will be made to evaluate difficulties and problems of the start-up companies regarding QM and CE and to develop possible solutions. The Q&A sessions will be offered until 31.07.2022 and the results will then be published in a summarized form.

On Wednesday, 28.09.2022, a synthesis workshop will take place in which the findings of the Q&A sessions will be communicated and discussed. In addition to the young companies, established companies that already have an integrated quality management system will be present and share their approaches with the participants.

Is your start-up struggling with implementing a quality management system or are you ready to share your insights and questions with us? Then register here for the Q&A sessions and the workshop and benefit from a free consultation.

The workshops will take place on 13.07.2022 and 28.09.2022 in Olten.

The Q&A sessions and the workshop are hosted by REDILO and the Swiss Association for Quality and facilitated by the organizations Circular Economy Switzerland and Swiss Association for Quality.
