OSCE Days 2016 : Ho Chi Minh City

The circular economy is a generic term for an industrial economy that is producing no waste and pollution, by design or intention. Open source is a development model that promotes universal access via an open-source or free license to a product’s design or blueprint, and universal redistribution. Open source enable faster innovation.

Vietnam is one of the fastest growing country, we produce a lot and we consume a lot. We manufacture for others and our 90+ million population has access to more goods everyday. As a developing country, we have to leapfrog and jump straight to an economy model that is more sustainable not only locally but globally.

This event is a chance to join a global movement and make a difference as consumers and as producers.
