The project Resource Efficient Business Models – Greater Competitiveness has been focusing on two main areas since 2014:
* Promoting the emergence of new business models with built-in resource efficiency to maximise the value of the resources. The project also aims to highlight examples of business models for resource efficiency in various industries.
* Identifying areas for policy development to promote business opportunities relating to resource efficiency and driving development of this types of business model. The project will present proposals for policy changes that will lead to Sweden being seen as a global role model as a clean and resource-efficient society by 2050.
Participants at the seminar will discuss how Sweden can steer a course towards increased resource efficiency, what companies are doing and how IVA can help further. The final report “Policy development towards 2025” will also be presented and discussed. The hope is that, through the seminar, the project and the new report will help improve resource efficiency in Sweden in the near future.
