Commons-based Sectoral Innovations

Deep dive analysis of the sector(s) targeted by the circular pilot action (i.e. textile, energy, food, etc.), covering aspects such as:

• Innovation trends and emerging circular business models, with key focus on distributed and decentralized business models that set alternative ways to extractive approaches of urban development

• Innovation levers explored by public bodies to shape new circular markets that embrace peer production approaches

• Novel technologies such as smart contracts and digital registries to allow ‘’many to many business models’’

• Barriers and opportunities for circular innovation.

Purpose within the REFLOW journey: Provide the pilot partners with evidence and insights about trends, drivers and barriers to circular, commons-based innovation in the sector targeted, in order to sustain informed dialogue and engagement with relevant stakeholders
