Course Description
This REFLOW Academy course focuses on Circular Business Models in the context of circular and regenerative cities.
The 5-parts course offers an introduction to business models, defining the concept and its key elements. It introduces the concept of sustainable business models, showing the main differences and archetypes existing in this field.

We will also provide you with a process and a set of tools to design circular business models from a top down perspective, starting from cities needs, as well as from a bottom-up perspective, looking at how existing businesses and start-ups can create new value propositions aiming at circular impact.
