Over 1,000 hosted buyers are expected to navigate 30 exhibition halls, focusing on the practical application of European circular economy mandates. The program kicks off with the States General of the Green Economy, setting the stage for discussions on industrial reform, ranging from packaging regulations to the complexities of the textile sector.

Professor Fabio Fava’s Scientific Technical Committee has curated more than 70 sessions addressing the intersection of research and policy.
