Boosting Circularity among SMEs event
In 2017, the European Commission has started a pilot project financed by the European Parliament with the title “Boosting the Circular Economy among SMEs in Europe”. The project delivered capacity building for selected SME support organisations, green solution providers and regional authorities on circular economy, resource efficiency and eco-innovation.
On December 6th and 7th 2018, the European Commission will hold a two-day event to take stock of this pilot project with the objective to share with a wider audience the lessons learned and to discuss the future needs of SMEs in their progress towards the circular economy.
The target audience of the event are interested circular companies, circular solution providers, SMEs, corporates, SME support organisations, regional and local authorities, investors, banks and funding agencies. The participants of the pilot project will also attend.
The event will include round-tables, workshops, networking and interactive sessions that will directly help SMEs and corporates; SME support organisations (e.g. industry associations, chambers of commerce) and local-and regional authorities.
