The matchmaking event will be a great opportunity to meet international partners within R&D, technology suppliers and potential clients for future H2020 collaboration.

European and world leading companies and cities, with the support of policy makers (EC, OECD) are turning to circular economy. This means they are taking active part in the system wide transformation: from waste to added value. Several initiatives seek to spark a new wave of innovation and to move the new value chains into a positive spiral of value capture, stronger economics, and better environmental outcomes.
