CircularInvest is pleased to announce that registration is now open for its final event, Scaling Circular Investment: From Barriers to Opportunity, taking place on 15 October 2026 in Brussels.
Bringing together investors, circular entrepreneurs, city and regional representatives, policymakers, and incubators, the event will focus on one central question: what is still preventing circular businesses from scaling in Europe — and what practical changes are needed to close the gap?
The programme will combine keynote discussions, startup case studies, an interactive workshop, and cross-sector dialogue. Sessions will explore how circular businesses navigate investment and regulation, how investors assess circular business models, and how policy frameworks can better support long-term circular growth.
A dedicated panel will also examine the role of cities and regions in enabling circular innovation through procurement, local policy, infrastructure, and ecosystem support.
In the afternoon, participants will take part in a collaborative workshop focused on investment readiness, investor expectations, and policy solutions for unlocking circular investment at scale. The event will conclude with a shared reflection session and networking reception.
The CircularInvest final event aims to create a practical space for dialogue between stakeholders working across finance, policy, entrepreneurship, and local government — helping turn circular economy ambition into scalable action.
