The successful implementation of the European Green Deal requires the involvement of the EU’s neighbouring regions, such as the Western Balkans.
The integration of a circular economy model is an integral component of the green agenda, but this concept is relatively new for this region and therefore still vague for many of its inhabitants and business owners. National and regional hubs will support the circular transition by fostering collaboration, sparking innovation and enabling informed decision making among stakeholders.
This webinar will explore the newly established Western Balkans Circular Economy Hub (WBCEH) supported by the RECONOMY programme, together with its strategic focus, vision and planned activities.
Hear from Elin Bergman, the top Swedish voice on circular economy topics and Nordic Hotspot Hub founder, as well as representatives of the Chambers of Commerce and their role in helping businesses in the circular transition.
The event will also showcase one or two successful examples of companies from the region that operate with a circular business model or are implementing circular business practices as part of their regular business.
This is an official World Circular Economy Forum Side Event. It is intended for individuals, including young people and professionals, micro, small and medium enterprises and other stakeholders working in the circular economy from the Western Balkans who are interested in finding out about the Hub’s activities and connecting with successful circular practices from the region.
This webinar will take place on Zoom at 10:30-12:00 CEST on 21 May in English. Full agenda and and registration.
Follow the Western Balkans Circular Economy Hub’s LinkedIn page to stay informed about all their activities and events.
