Nordic Talks 2023: "Are we Wasting value?" Panel Discussion
Nordic Talks: "Are we Wasting value?"
Singapore, 5 June 2023
TechLab Innovation Norway
To answer this question, we have invited experts from Ramboll, Johnsen Chemicals and Environmental Solutions Asia to discuss sustainability performance when assessing the Nordics and Singapore's approach towards (1) “mid-stream” waste optimisation and (2) upstream resource management and (3) downstream innovation and investment in circular models.
In this panel, you will get to learn about:
♻️ Present and future economic viability (e.g. waste-to-energy)
🏛 Current- and required future regulations and equitable legislation
📚 Education efforts are required to build social awareness and meaningful actions.
We define sustainability performance as the intersection of economy/society/environment in terms of understanding approaches/trade-offs to viable/meaningful and equitable waste management solutions.
This event is jointly organised by Nordic Innovation House Singapore, Innovation Norway, the Embassy of Denmark in Singapore, Business Sweden Asia-Pacific, the Embassy of Finland in Singapore and Business Iceland, and supported by NordicTalks (brought to you by The Nordics, a project under The Nordic Council of Ministers) and Nordic Innovation.
Welcome Remarks by Annette Østergaard Jørgensen, Head of Public Diplomacy & Partnerships of Embassy of Denmark in Singapore and Board Member of Nordic Innovation House Singapore.
