Nordic cities and municipalities are challenging together the market to discover green innovations. On 25th November, a group of Nordic Buyers including the City of Malmö, City of Oslo, City of Helsinki, Region Stockholm, City of Aalborg and City of Copenhagen will jointly host the Nordic Forum for Market Dialogue on Circular, Fair Smartphones. At the event, these major buyers will meet with resellers, suppliers and relevant stakeholders from all over Europe to discuss procurement needs and solutions towards circular. 

The event will take place online between 09.00-13.00 (CET).

If you’re interested, don’t miss this call and register here by 18th November. 

The main goal of the Nordic Forum for Market Dialogue on Circular, Fair Smartphones is to develop a timeline of workable actions in collaboration with the market, including brand owners, resellers, service providers and reuse/recyclers of ICT. The event will include an overview of cities upcoming intentions, collaborative workshops to discuss appropriate criteria and monitoring to be included in future  contracts, plus the opportunity for one-on-one discussions between buyers and suppliers.  

To take part, register here by 18th November.
