Leading software platform, Circularise recently announced that it has raised $11.3 million (€11 million) in funding as part of its Series A round in a bid to advance its mission to bring a circular economy to industrial supply chains.

Jordi further highlighted that this funding would empower the firm to expand its operation, R&D, and product as well as scale its international team.
It would also enable the firm to become a leading software provider for supply chain traceability while supporting the evolution to a circular economy on a global scale, added Jordi.
