From Silicon to System - Experience Upskilling through Circular Chipsets

 The Chipset powers modern life—yet it's among the most resource-intensive products ever made, with most devices ending in landfill. This experiential accelerator uses the chipset as a living case study to ask: how do we transform an industry from linear "take-make-dispose" logic into a genuinely circular system?

This is an experiential session where through simulation, mapping, and scenario challenges, participants hunt for where value and material leak out of the system and prototype interventions that close the loop. Along the way, participants build essential skills required in Circular Industries.

Background in semiconductors is not required—the chipset is the lens, and the skills are universal. Participants leave with a transferable model for circular thinking, hands-on skill practice, a four-phase framework for analysing any product, and the conviction that the loop can be closed.
