Shadow Chen, the CEO of the Circular Taiwan Network was invited to give a speech and host a mini-workshop at the 23rd "SME Leadership Seminar."
This seminar, organized by the Small and Medium Enterprise Administration under the Ministry of Economic Affairs, serves as a platform for domestic SME leaders to share industry knowledge and network. Held once each in northern, central, and southern Taiwan, this intensive week-long seminar focuses on the theme "New Horizons for Businesses: Green, Smart, and Sustainable," exploring the topic of business transformation, with circular economy playing a key role in sustainability strategies.
After the 40-minute speech, the challenge for participants was to start a circular company in just 30 minutes! These SME owners and senior executives demonstrated remarkable skill. Although unsure where to begin at first, once they started brainstorming together, a flood of ideas emerged. Participants expressed that this type of hands-on learning was far more effective than a traditional lecture. Some even felt that the ideas generated were valuable enough to consider starting a new company!
Through collaboration, new circular opportunities were ignited—this is the power of Circular Collaboration!
