Thijs Gieben

And The People drives the transition towards a circular economy by developing initiatives, networks, collaboration/research/design projects, interventions and strategy advice. Societal transitions require broad participation, so we connect research, design, public organisations, businesses and citizens in collaboratively shaping a regenerative future. I focus mostly on governance, area development, waste systems and regenerative food systems.

I also have a solo travel company 'Thijs op Reis', where I organise immersive, net zero mountain travel experiences for Dutch people and businesses.
