About this event

  • Event lasts 4 hours

The event ‘Circular Solutions in Textile & Food: Bridging Sectors, Borders & Strategies’ on the 23rd of October 2025 explores circular solutions in the textile and food sectors, with a focus on cross-border collaboration, policy development, and practical tools like decision support systems. Bringing together SMEs, policy makers, NGOs, students, and project partners of three EU funded projects, it highlights sector-specific best practices, barriers, and enablers of circularity. Also, participants will engage in a cross-sector policy panel.

The event concludes with the culinary experience 'Tasting and Testing,' where participants can try the FoodCycle.ai tool, explore best practices through an exhibition, and discover various circularity projects. The event aims to foster knowledge exchange, inspire action, and support future collaboration across industries and regions.
