Circular Economy in the Furniture Industry

Throughout many industries, there is an attempt to organize economic activities circularly. While linear value chains extract resources and produce waste, a circular economy minimizes resource extraction and waste production by keeping the resources in a cycle. 

In this case study, you help a start-up in the furniture industry find the best customer segment for starting a circular business model. Go from "selling furniture" to "renting furniture".

You learn to identify attractive customer segments and to select them with the help of our experienced coaches. Below, in the video, please find one of many business tools which you will learn in a unique learning experience.

We are looking forward to meeting you in the case!
