Report on the vision think tank

This deliverable documents the HEPHAESTUS Vision Think Tank, developed within the EU Horizon project HEPHAESTUS to foster innovation, sustainability, and policy development in Europe's craft sectors. Building on Bornholm’s Maker’s Island initiative, this flexible, multi-stakeholder platform connects craft makers, businesses, academia, and waste management authorities like BOFA to drive sustainable business practices and circular economy strategies. Leveraging local insights, such as the "Bornholm without Waste 2032" initiative and innovative approaches by craft artists, the think tank supports decentralized, technology-driven craft practices. Through collaborative, adaptive structures, it aims to influence policy, enhance professional skills, and ensure lasting economic, cultural, and environmental sustainability.
