The Impact Festival 2024 was an inspiring event filled with innovative ideas and exciting encounters in Frankfurt. Together with CircularInvest, we had the opportunity to explore the latest trends and concepts in the circular economy.
Our founder, Joshua Linn, presented the vision of Ocean Package to a wide audience, impressing both investors and industry experts alike. The exchange of ideas on circular solutions and sustainable logistics approaches further strengthened our commitment to building a more sustainable future.
On-site together with CircularInvest
CircularInvest was represented by a diverse range of startups, including Ocean Package, as well as our partners LoopLook and Surlev.
- LoopLook is dedicated to building a network of repair service providers in Berlin to extend the lifespan of products.
- Surlev, on the other hand, offers an innovative solution for utilizing rooftop spaces by “elevating” them, creating room for urban farming and solar energy installations.
This diverse range of ideas impressively demonstrated how the circular economy is already being implemented todayand the vast opportunities that still lie ahead.
