The initiative is co-funded and co-managed by Finland and the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra. Enabel works on the Business side of EU CERC, where I focus on the broad topic of finance and business, identifying the opportunities and connecting the parties that can learn from each other and jointly create more circular businesses and circular products.
