CIRCO Hub Nigeria is a practical training program delivered by the Enterprise Development Centre of the Pan Atlantic University and the Circular Business platform anchored on the internationally proven Circo methodology focused on supporting businesses to innovate and reimagine their products and business model. Circo’s aim is to help businesses transition from a traditional linear economic model (take, make, dispose) to a sustainable, circular model that reduces waste and maximizes profit.

Any business that is interested in embedding circularity into its operations, whether small, medium, or large enterprises, is eligible to participate in CIRCO Hub Nigeria. The initiative is designed to cater to various sectors, including manufacturing, fashion, construction, and technology, among others.

The schedule for the first program is January 2025. You can also stay updated by following our official communication channels on social media or by subscribing to our newsletter on our website.

CIRCO Hub Nigeria uses a well-structured methodology that has been successfully implemented by other CIRCO Hubs worldwide. The program includes: - Workshops: Businesses participate in training modules facilitated by certified CIRCO trainers. - Circular Design Approach: Participants learn to rethink their products, services, and operations through a circular lens. - Hands-on Collaboration: The program is interactive, with participants working closely with trainers and peers to identify circular opportunities within their specific business sectors.

CIRCO Hub Nigeria is crucial due to the growing environmental and economic challenges associated with Nigeria’s linear economic model. This initiative brings a global network of expertise and local relevance to support businesses in transitioning to a sustainable and circular economy. CIRCO Hub Nigeria will serve as a leading force in shaping the future of sustainable business practices across the nation.
