About Ressource City

Centre of circular economy

What is Ressource City?

Ressource City is the centre of circular economy. We are a cluster of innovation, knowledge and inspiration that set the framework for sustainable business development. We work closely with businesses, educational institutions and other public actors. Through the collaboration with these organisations Ressource City helps to increase their innovative force and environmental profile towards a strong circular economy.

Located at the old papermill in Naestved, Ressource City works as a platform for accelerating governmental and EU funding towards sustainable business development projects. We are a unique test centre in Denmark under Naestved Municipality where companies are welcome to try their business ideas out and participate in innovation and development projects.

Ressource City helps businesses to improve their economic value within a resource efficient circular economy. We support the corporate sector’s transition to a circular economy by sharing our knowledge and experiences in addition to continuously expanding our network.

The first part of Ressource City’s name stands for ‘resource’ in Danish.
