Various activities will be organised from May to December to promote healthy and sustainable living. Livable cities should be designed to meet the demand of their residents with features such as green/vibrant public spaces, low-emission mobility, and diverse biodiversity, as well as accessibility to clean water and fresh food.

Let’s blaze new trails and build a resilient future by exploring new ideas and innovating together!

Our activities line up for this year are for example:

CIRCO Creating Business Through Circular Design Demo

A transition to the circular economy requires systemic change, starting from taking a different view of how we design, market and produce. Good design should be long-lasting, useful, innovative and environmentally friendly. CIRCO, a program supported by the Dutch government, activates entrepreneurs and creative professionals to (re) design products, services and business models in order to subsequently do circular business.

Similar to last year Orange Green Days, the Netherlands Embassy together with the Global Compact Network Thailand and CIRCO Hub Thailand will co-organise a half-day demo workshop on Creating Business Through Circular Design on 21 August. The DEMO demonstrates the CIRCO design process in a pressure cooker format, making circular business concrete and providing a circular dimension to your innovation process. Participants will get acquainted with a circular way of working, learn about circular cases, and meet other companies and stakeholders starting their circular journey as well.
