Both Philip Marynissen (Advance) and Johan Van hunsel (SPOT) gave an interview last year for publication on the new “Tijd voor Circulair” website of the Belgian “FOD Economie” that focuses on the need to build a (more) circular economy. These interviews respectively deal with the importance of circular innovations for companies in general and SME’s in particular (Philip), as well as with the importance of intellectual property rights (incl. patents) as at tool not only to protect but also to make money out of these innovations (valorisation) (Johan). Finally now both interviews have become public on this website: https://tijdvoorcirculair.be/inzichten/circulaire-innovaties-en-hoe-ze-te-beschermen
