Amsterdam Circular: Chain Reaction
Dear guest, this is Guy from Amsterdam Circular, the chain financing program by the City of Amsterdam, AMS Institute, CiSe Network, Circular Economy Innovation Agency, and Invest-NL. Together, we accelerate circular chains.
You are invited to join Chain Reaction — a celebration of circular chain innovation – where 8 circular ventures will present their vision, progress, and financing needs for their chain collaborations. We welcome you in the beautiful and lofty auditorium of DB55 in Houthavens.
Elisa Achterberg and Bas Slootman from CiSe Network will teach you about chain financing – the innovative approach to financing chain collaborations – and the magical metric for circular products: Product Lifetime Value (PLV).
You will enjoy a keynote from Harald Friedl, founder of The Circular Economy Innovation Agency, about his experience coaching the Amsterdam Circular founders, and challenging them to step into the responsibilities of Ecosystem Leadership.
The main part of the event is Chain Reaction – 8 Founder-Funder Roundtables in the auditorium. Navo will warmly welcome you, introduce the chains, and explain the "chain reaction" format. Funders will be assigned to Roundtables and Founders will present their chain financing needs.
We'll wrap up the event with drinks and networking with the founders. You can also meet the Top 10 ventures selected for the 2025 edition of Amsterdam Circular, focusing on the circular built environment.
Please register to ensure you get included in our programming! We look forward to seeing you at DB55.
