The Circular Investment Readiness Network (CIRN) is organising a series of sessions to support circular economy projects in overcoming development and financial challenges. The next session will take place on 27 March (09:30 - 10:30 CET) and will be hosted by Vojtech Vosecki, one of Europe's leading circular economy voices.
CIRN seeks to create meaningful connections and foster knowledge exchange between circular start-ups, circular experts, and investors across the EU. Its upcoming networking session is designed to help participants connect with the right people and have productive conversations that can spark new opportunities and partnerships.
The networking session will take place on the Conversation Starter platform, where participants should indicate both their expertise and the areas where they seek support. Based on this information, they can schedule three separate 12-minute one-on-one meetings with experts or be automatically matched based on their interests through the platform’s smart pairing system.

The Circular Investment Readiness Network is a joint initiative of CircularInvest and DEFINITE-CCRI. Both projects are funded under the Horizon Europe Programme to assist the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative in advancing the circular economy in Europe. Through Project Development Assistance (PDA) and guidance, CircularInvest and DEFINITE-CCRI aim to support circular economy projects in securing vital investments. More information can be found here.
How can Europe close the gap between circular ambition and investment reality? This was the central question explored at CircularInvest's final event, which brought together policymakers, investors, entrepreneurs, and local government representatives on 15th October in Brussels to identify practical solutions for scaling circular businesses across Europe.

Circle Economy brought together entrepreneurs, financiers, policymakers and development institutions to explore one key question: what can be solved through finance, and what requires broader systemic change?
With just weeks to go, registration is filling up fast for "Scaling Circular Investment: From Barriers to Opportunity", the final CircularInvest event taking place on 15 October 2026 at Maison Grand-Place in the centre of Brussels, a side event to the European Week of Regions and Cities.
