Value chain design, innovation & digitalisation for scaling the circular economy!

We’re excited to launch two practical and complementary guides to solve bottlenecks in value chain innovation and information sharing, developed by the Onto-DESIDE project! In our upcoming lunchtime webinar – on 17th of November from 12-13:30pm CET – learn about the tools and support that are available and how to use them. Together, these two guides support circular economy innovation and implementation across industries by combining strategic insight with technical implementation:

• Guide 1: Value Chain Design, Development & Innovation
  A strategic toolkit for diagnosing complex value chains, based on systems thinking. Learn how to map and analyse resource, value, information, and energy flows to uncover structural waste, misaligned incentives, and identify the the root causes of systemic barriers. This method, named the Multi-Flow Method (MFM), helps you move from insight to action—and is ideal for teams seeking deeper insight into how circular strategies interact and evolve.
• Guide 2: Decentralised Sharing of Data & Information
  A technical companion designed to help organisations build secure, decentralised data-sharing infrastructures that support circular value chains. It explains how to use ontologies and open standards to achieve both semantic and technical interoperability—ensuring that data exchanged between partners is not only compatible, but also meaningful. Whether you’re working across industries or within complex supply networks, this guide shows how to make your data flow as efficiently and intelligently as your materials.

Together, these guides offer a comprehensive toolkit for planning, automating, and scaling circular value networks—supporting Europe’s digital and green Twin Transition.

This is an official World Circular Economy Forum Side Event!

A video recording of the event is available from the “Tools & training” page on our website!
