Open Call
The Circular Economy Hotspot community is launching an open call to find a European host for its 2025 edition, offering governments the ideal opportunity to highlight local circular practices, from business models and innovative industrial solutions to progressive regional and national policies.
-
This globetrotting event aims to highlight innovative circular economy practices. Its international and diverse outlook promotes an exchange of ideas and experiences between policymakers, entrepreneurs, researchers, and captains of industry from the host country and beyond.
The Circular Economy Hotspot was first organised in the Netherlands in 2016. From there the concept travelled to Scotland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Catalonia, Nord Rhine Westphalia, and this year will be hosted in Dublin, Lagos and Chile.
Each host puts together a programme that highlights how their country or region is contributing to the transition towards a circular economy.
-
National and regional governments and organizations from all over the world can send in their applications up until 22nd of May 2023.
Candidates will be invited to present their case on the morning of 29th May 2023 to former, current, and future CE hotspot organisers. Each candidate will have 10 minutes to put forward their case for hosting in 2025. On 29th of May, the jury’s decision will be announced at the opening ceremony of Dublin’s circular economy hotspot celebration.
