Franz Fayot launches Circular by Design Challenge #3As the consequences of climate change and lack of resources are becoming more apparent, the need to change our current production and consumption patterns is obvious. The Ministry of the Economy and Luxinnovation launched Circular by Design Challenge in 2020 to respond to this challenge. The aim of Circular by Design Challenge is to incite businesses and entrepreneurs to develop products and services that will contribute to a more circular and sustainable world,” said Minister of the Economy Franz Fayot at the launch webinar of the third edition of the Challenge.
