SHAPE Ecosystem

Shaping the Green Transition

Driving sustainable transformation in manufacturing

Mission of the SHAPE Ecosystem

We’re reducing the carbon footprint of the manufacturing industry by harnessing the power of circular economy, sustainable materials, remanufacturing and intelligent value chains.

Through strategic partnerships and a dynamic ecosystem, we foster co-innovation and cross-sector knowledge sharing, enabling the creation of groundbreaking circular solutions and scalable sustainable business models that has never been possible before.

Wait - what exactly is SHAPE?

SHAPE is an ecosystem launched by Mirka to create new solutions for the green transition in the manufacturing industry. SHAPE focuses on reshaping the life cycles of products and materials by boosting circularity, finding sustainable material solutions, piloting new business concepts and optimizing sustainable processes.

Business Finland has granted 10 million euros in development funding for the SHAPE programme as well as 20 million euros to the ecosystem companies surrounding the project.
