Your strategic guide to a circular future

We investigate the potential of the circular economy in the Czech Republic and internationally. We conduct our own research and analysis in consultation with the private sector, public administration, academia and civic society, and provide insights and recommendations on how to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. Our findings are clear, reliable, up-to-date, relevant and data-driven. We develop in-depth studies, articles, thematic overviews and sector reports.

Let's collaborate!

We are committed to delivering impact and developing solutions across multiple key agendas of the circular economy through international partnerships.
Climate neutrality for industry will not be achieveable without the circular economy. We have been working since 2021 to investigate and promote circular solutions to the decarbonisation of heavy industry and manufacturing.

We focus on the sustainable use of renewable natural resources and valorisation of waste and by-product streams in food, construction, textiles and chemicals. For example, in 2023 we published a study on the cascading use and circularity of wood and wood-based products in the Czech Republic.

We work closely with sector organisations across the EU and national industry stakeholders to plan for and implement solutions for a circular and low-carbon built environment, in line with EU policy and international best practice.
incien-thinktank-eng-eupolicy-v2
We monitor continuously the development of EU policy and legislation related to the circular economy across industry sectors and the complex interconnections with climate change, biodiversity, sustainable finance and other agendas, in order to support timely and effective implementation at a national level.
