Circularity Sessions
Back by popular demand, Circularity Sessions return for 2025 with a fresh new focus.
Building on the success of last year’s series, this next evolution dives deeper into how founders can embed circular design into their products and business models. These half-day workshops go beyond the theory to share real-world stories, practical tools, and actionable insight from founders who are doing it now.
Are you ready to make circularity a key part of your business, join us in Brighton to learn, connect, and take the next step in your journey.
About the Programme
Hosted at Plus X Innovation Brighton, Circularity Sessions are informal, founder-led workshops designed to give you practical, experience-based knowledge on circular design and business practices. Each session brings together entrepreneurs, designers, and innovators to explore how circular principles can be applied in real businesses.
This year’s series builds up on previous editions, introducing new topics and formats while staying true to the peer-led, interactive style that made it so valuable.

- Informal, hands-on learning rooted in live examples
- Speaker-led sessions by experts with real-world experience
- Peer-to-peer connection and practical discussion

The people I have met here make it a dream coming in a few times a week! I don't see myself being able to go back to working from home the same way I did before coming to Plus X Innovation, I don't think I could leave the sense of community behind. It really is something everyone who is working from home should try!
Central Research Laboratory has contributed to our journey in many ways: access to a network, manufacturing, procurement services, and workshop facilities. CRL enables us to feel like a slightly bigger company than we would otherwise be if left to our own devices. Being here at CRL as a cohort member, makes it feel a lot more real and plugged in into the ecosystem.
Besides the workshop facilities, the best thing about working in the Brighton hub has got to be being able to collaborate with people in the same building as you. The variety of expertise and experience in the building is awesome.
We could not be in a better place to grow as a company. We get amazing support from the Plus X Innovation staff, plus collaboration opportunities with the other inspiring residents and companies. We feel like we’re living in the future of workplaces in the present and that is pretty damn cool.
Through my time at Plus X Innovation my business has turned from a student project into a registered R&D company. My favourite thing about being at Plus X Brighton is having a mini family in the office and a beautiful space to be the best you and make the best connections.
