At the Marineterrein, we are building a place where entrepreneurs, researchers, policymakers, and residents come together to test, learn, and scale solutions that make cities truly circular.
Initiated by Impact Hub Amsterdam and AMS Institute, CRCL PARK is a growing coalition of doers working towards a future where we design and use smarter, extend the life of products and materials, and turn waste into valuable resources. Here, the city becomes our living lab to create real impact together.
On Thursday, October 16, 2025, we will celebrate the launch of this new initiative.
This will not be a standard business event, but an experience designed to connect, inspire, and activate collaboration.
These are the first confirmed speakers:
- Laurens Nolet: Circularity Lead at Decathlon and former Chief Operating Officer at Roetz-Bikes. A driving force behind sustainable innovation in the corporate world.
- Mijke van Ballegooijen: CEO of ByBorre, leads the charge in transforming the global textile industry through circular design and responsible material innovation.
- Stef Traa: Founder of Droppie, a collection system and mobile app that incentivizes users to effectively recycle all types of consumer recyclables.
- Willa Stoutenbeek: Host, facilitator, and founder of W.Green, a branding and communication agency championing sustainability across food and lifestyle sectors since 2010.
