Re-think Circular Economy Forum | Milan 2025

Re-think Circular Economy Forum Milan 2025 will set out a vision of macro-trends related to EU plans, show practical paths for implementing them and design projects with a focus on innovative business activities that have a positive impact on the local and national system. 

The event will foster local development by promoting new business activities in the circular economy and encourage interaction with international players. It also aims to expand and connect the ecosystem working on circular economy issues by fostering interaction among all relevant actors, such as researchers, companies, investors, startups and institutional actors. 

The event will focus on four main topics:

• Circular cities: Urban contexts organised in a circular manner; good examples of cities that have embarked on the transition to a circular economy
• Circular materials: Circular materials with a focus on the construction and design sectors; emerging developments in materials reuse and remanufacturing
• Digital and e-waste: Digital tools and applications that optimise resource use, with a focus on AI, IoT and Blockchain; how the circular economy can address the global e-waste challenge
• Fashion and textiles: Business models and circular practices in the textiles industry that aim to preserve product value through recovery, recycling and remanufacturing technologies. 

This year’s Re-think Milan will have a national and international scope, and aims to attract the main players in the ecosystem.

Re-think Milan 2025 will take place in person and online on 21-22 May, at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore di Milano. It will be in English. Registration.
