Flevoland once again demonstrates that circularity and entrepreneurship go hand in hand. During the Flevoland Circular Innovation Top 2026 on Thursday, March 5, innovative companies, collaborations, and students presented their progressive ideas. They gathered at Windesheim University of Applied Sciences in Almere to showcase their products and solutions and have them evaluated by the jury. Participants come from various sectors and work on solutions to use raw materials smarter and develop new, sustainable ways of doing business.

Circular Solutions for Tomorrow

In the year we celebrate 40 years of the province of Flevoland, this special event proves that pioneering spirit and innovative power are still part of Flevolands DNA. “Together with our partners and especially our circular entrepreneurs, we are working on a future-proof Flevoland economy,” said jury chairman and deputy Toon van Dijk when announcing the winners.
