THE STRATEGY WAS NEVER THE HARD PART
Regional circular strategies rarely fail on paper. They fail on delivery.
We help public bodies and place-based partnerships close that gap.
Where regional circular work tends to get stuck
The gap is usually in implementation, coordination, and investability.
- Strong circular strategies that struggle to land at the operational level
- Fragmented data on material flows, jobs, and circular economic activity
- Limited coordination between businesses, institutions, and citizens
- Circular infrastructure projects that stall on investability and governance
- Difficulty showing circular performance to councils, funders, and the public
How we work with you
We work alongside public teams as a senior, independent partner, shaping work that public bodies own and deliver.
From policy intent to implementation pathways
We translate circular and climate strategies into concrete delivery roadmaps: sequenced, costed, and grounded in the actual capacity of the region.
Coordinate the ecosystem around shared goals
We design and facilitate collaboration between local authorities, businesses, knowledge institutions, and community actors so circular work compounds rather than fragments.
Build investment readiness for circular infrastructure
We structure the business case, governance, and risk allocation that makes circular infrastructure and value chains fundable, by public, blended, or private capital.
Make circular performance visible
We design measurement and reporting that holds up to leadership, funders, and citizens, connecting material, economic, and social outcomes.
INTERREG BALTIC SEA REGION
We lead the policy roadmap for six Baltic Sea cities.
Creative Circular Cities is an Interreg Baltic Sea Region project working with Aarhus, Gdynia, Kiel, Riga, Tallinn and Turku. We lead the stakeholder engagement and write the policy roadmap, which sets out how policy, funding and regulation can better recognise and support creative and cultural actors in the circular economy.
Alexander Forrest and Mary Teehan lead the work for Circular Intelligence.
