Join us in Brussels on 14 April 2026 for the TREASoURcE Final Conference, where we bring together policymakers, industry, researchers, cities and regions, and civil society to accelerate the circular economy from local demonstrations to system-wide adoption.
TREASoURcE Final Conference — “Circular systemic solutions: From demos to deployment”: 14.04.2026, 09:00–16:00 CET | Double Tree by Hilton Brussels City, Rue Gineste 3, Brussels
Registration
This full-day event will showcase territorial and regional demonstrations of systemic circular economy solutions in plastics, batteries, and biobased side and waste streams. The programme features cross-cutting plenary sessions on policy, digitalisation, business models, and stakeholder engagement, followed by deep-dives into real-world applications and replication pathways for each key value chain.
Participants will:
- Discover the latest results and real-world impact of circular solutions in plastics, batteries, and bio-based streams
- Exchange knowledge and best practices with peers from policy, industry, research, and cities
- Engage in discussions on policy recommendations and systemic enablers for accelerating circular economy adoption
- Explore digital tools and business models that support circularity in diverse contexts
- Connect with innovators and stakeholders to foster new collaborations and partnerships
- Gain practical insights and inspiration for further uptake and replication of circular solutions in their own regions or sectors
Discover practical solutions, tools, and strategies tailored for policy makers, industry, cities, researchers, and civil society – and take home actionable approaches for your region, sector, or organisation.
The event is free and open to all interested stakeholders, but places are limited – advance registration is required.
