Join them for breakfast, coffee, and great conversation with fantastic people from the Greentech community.
In this engaging session, they’ll unpack the concept of circularity—whether you’re new to it or need a quick refresher—and then dive into the real-world role of digital technology in making it a reality. Using practical examples across industries and regions, they’ll explore how software is enabling businesses to move toward more sustainable, circular models. We’ll also examine the risks, challenges, and unexpected consequences that arise along the way.
They’re excited to welcome Barry O'Kane, founder of HappyPorch, a software development company dedicated to driving the circular economy. With over 20 years of experience as a software engineer, leader, and entrepreneur, Barry and his team are passionate about using intelligent, purpose-driven tech to tackle global challenges and create real impact.
Join them to learn, ask questions, and get inspired by what’s possible at the intersection of digital innovation and sustainability.
This event is open to anyone with an interest in sustainability or greentech, and you’ll have the opportunity to meet other people in the space and get to know the Edinburgh Greentech community.
