Organiser(s): Lindström Group, Lindström India
Discover how workwear rental and maintenance can keep garments in use longer. Lindström experts will share practical lessons on durability, repair, reuse and resource-efficient laundry, helping organisations reduce waste and build long-term business value.
Organiser(s): Common Seas
Circular solutions in Small Island States face unique challenges of scale, cost and geography. We’ll explore what works in practice and how solutions can be implemented in island contexts. Expect real examples from the Caribbean and Indian Ocean, and learn how regional collaboration can help unlock scale.
Organiser(s): Team Finland Latin America, Ministry for Foreign Affairs Finland
This session highlights how Finland is advancing circular economy partnerships across the LAC region. Through practical examples and collaboration opportunities, participants will explore how circular solutions can drive sustainable growth, innovation and resource efficiency in Latin America.
Organiser(s): RISE
This session is built on 10+ years of research on how to develop and scale circular business models – resulting in the insight that these models cannot scale within our current economic system. We have identified 26 levers for transformative change, necessary to to scale a real circular economy.

Slovenian National Institute of Building and Civil Engineering
A close-up look at Nordic circular cities: what works, what carries the transition, and what still stands in the way. New research meets real-world practice from across the Nordics and Europe. The session closes with an open dialogue with international expert communities.
Organiser(s): African Circular Economy Network
Who ultimately benefits when EPR systems are introduced? Drawing on African evidence-based experience in plastics and e-waste, this session explores how EPR can boost reuse, refurbishment and recycling of these obligated waste streams while protecting and improving informal workers’ livelihoods.
Organiser(s):
Circular Friesland Association, Circle Economy, Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management (The Netherlands)
Many regions have circular strategies; few turn them into systemic change. Discover how Friesland (the Netherlands), London (UK) and Bega (Australia) use data, collaboration and long-term governance to move from insight to action, and take away practical lessons for your own region or organisation.
Organiser(s): Climate KIC, SecondMuse, GrowthAfrica
How can we move circular economy pilots from isolated projects to system-wide change? You’ll hear from practitioners and leave with frameworks, real evidence from sectors like e-waste, and partnership opportunities to help build circular economies that are competitive, inclusive and resilient.

Expect:
A grass-roots view of how a post-consumer textile waste ecosystem is built and lessons learned.
Why it matters:
Textile waste is a global issue. With EPR evolving and infrastructure gaps widening, this session offers practical insights from people on ground building scalable solutions.
Organiser(s): Nordic Innovation, Stride Ventures, Nordic Circular Investments
This interactive online session moves beyond theory to live demonstration: real cases from the Nordics and India present how cross-value chain collaboration works in practice, how risk is distributed between innovators and established companies, and how capital is structured to fund circular networks.
