Circularity Starts with Data: A PIM Perspective

This webinar explores how Product Information Managers (PIMs) play a critical role in enabling the circular economy through structured, shareable, and intelligent product data.

Led by Signifikant, the session will highlight how accurate and connected product information forms the foundation for reuse, repair, and value recovery — key pillars of sustainable business.

Participants will gain insights into how Signifikant’s Open Access Digital Platform (OADP) empowers organizations to turn product data into a strategic asset that drives both efficiency and sustainability. This initiative is a part of the European Commission’s DiCiM project https://www.dicimproject.eu/
