Circular Economy for European Industry: Unlocking New Potential for Value Creation and Resilience

Europe’s industrial strength - from German Maschinenbau to hidden champions - is built on engineering excellence and long-term thinking. Circular economy is the next frontier: not just an environmental imperative, but a genuine business opportunity to reduce material costs, build supply chain resilience, and future-proof operations.
On 25 June, on-site at Festo in Esslingen, CIRCULAR REPUBLIC brings together industry, recyclers, research, and policy to explore how circularity can be embedded across industrial value chains, from product design and remanufacturing to material recovery and new business models.
The afternoon features an (optional) tour of the Festo Experience Center, concrete project spotlight - on e-motors recycling and industrial electronics circularity, keynotes and a panel discussion with leaders from major industrial companies.
Why Attend?
  • Discover how circular economy principles translate into competitive advantage for manufacturing and other industrial companies
  • Learn from real-world pilots already running in the German B2B context
  • Connect with peers, recyclers, researchers, and policymakers shaping the industrial transition
  • Contribute your perspective to a cross-sector dialogue on scalable solutions
