Future journey to the flagship region of Lombardy

Circular Economy Forum Austria, together with other decision-makers from sectors and companies interested in circular economy, invited participants to a CIRCULAR INNOVATION trip organised by 18 - 19 May 2022 to Milan one. Italy, as one of our most important economic partners, has so far successfully positioned itself as a European cluster for circular initiatives. The regions, and especially the economically strong Lombardy region, are working on circular innovations in traditional industries and export sectors with different focuses. Many of these initiatives target traditionally Italian business/export sectors that are affected by the rise of global supply chains and the steady increase in European environmental awareness.

On the "CIRCULAR INNOVATION" future trip to Lombardy, curated by the Circular Economy Forum Austria, representatives from Austrian companies learnt in personal contact and exchange on site how traditional economic sectors are adapting to a changing economic environment through circular innovations and are thus successful in international competition.

Together with value creation partners, participants learnt about best practice from the textile, plastics, industrial design, chemical and construction industries and expanded their networks in the process.
