Driving the Circular Economy: Universities as Enablers in Scaling Solutions – A TalTech Case Study

This panel will showcase successful real-life examples of how universities can enable and accelerate the transition towards a circular economy. Drawing on practical projects and collaboration with industry and other stakeholders, Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) will present examples of how research, technological innovation and knowledge transfer can be translated into tangible solutions and real-world impact. A key example will be the Circular Economy Core Lab at TalTech – a university-wide initiative that has evolved into a success story, creating new opportunities for collaboration between researchers, businesses and public-sector stakeholders. By bringing together expertise across different disciplines and connecting research with real-life needs, the Core Lab has opened new pathways for knowledge transfer, technological innovation and the development of circular business solutions.
