Entrepreneurs have the talent to create value, shared value. One of our biggest global challenges that access to resources becomes increasingly difficult. Luckily, Guido Braam is convinced that the latter can be solved by the circular economy that entrepreneurs are able to create. He is optimistic and hopes to show you that when we continue to build upon the new business models, innovations and first circular successes of the last years, we can work on building a better and more sustainable future.

Guido Braam was co-founder and Executive Director of Circle Economy. As co-founder of several impact driven companies like Outside.inc, We Beat The Mountain, Next2Company, Kirkman Company and YSE he wants to expand Powered by Meaning with a strong belief that shared value and circular entrepreneurship will be the new normal.
Braam: “The circular economy concept provides a tempting perspective to solve these issues. In the last years we have seen new business models, cool innovations and first circular successes. We are in the early stage of development, so the quest is to speed up the process from rhetoric to reality, from concept to practice. Let’s go!”
