Circular Economy Summit - Shaping New Horizons for 2026

The upcoming EU Circular Economy Act, coming into force in 2026, represents one of Europe’s most ambitious sustainability policies to date. Its goal is to create a unified market for recycled materials, strengthen the supply and demand of secondary raw materials, and position Europe as a global leader in the circular economy.

In anticipation of this transformation, the Circular Economy Summit will bring together business leaders, academics, and public sector representatives to explore the key challenges and opportunities in advancing toward a truly circular economy. The event will serve as a constructive dialogue platform to align efforts across industry, academia, and policy-making.

Discussions will focus on crucial questions such as:

• How can essential sectors transition to fully circular models—from design to end use?
• What structural changes are needed to rethink entire industries, and how can we begin this transformation?
• How can organizations prepare for the upcoming 2026 legislation and its higher sustainability standards?
• How can companies improve their knowledge and participation in the design of the regulatory framework?

The key dimensions that will guide the conversation are regulation, innovation, collaboration, finance, and implementation.

If you are a top decision-maker guiding your company through the upcoming changes, this summit will provide valuable insights to help identify knowledge gaps and build the capacity needed to advance sustainable production, circular business models, and decarbonization—ensuring Spanish companies are ready to lead in the circular future.

The event will be conducted in both English and Spanish, with simultaneous translation available for participants who require it.
