Concept description:
The idea is to attract new companies to the platform by providing a support package (consulting/ training course) and sharing the best practices and success stories of other companies that are already successful at offering their products as a service.

The package will include: training course/ consulting on how to transform your business model from linear/ product based to circular/ service based.

Vision and values behind our concept:
That gives a great learning experience for companies who need to transform their business model from product to service and from linear to circular. Providing guidelines from companies who have already overcome the obstacles and are successful in their field can bring great help and motivation to starting companies.

*The platform can also include testimonials and useful tips from this kind of companies.
