Circular Economy Summit

The Circular Economy Summit offers an exploration of the intersection of two emerging megatrend: artificial intelligence and circular economy, and how artificial intelligence can accelerate the transition to a circular economy.

On the way to the 2022 event, the partners of The Innovation Alliance, in collaboration with Fiera Milano, propose an International Summit, aimed to the stakeholders of all industrial sectors.

It is about inspiring a regenerative industrial ecosystem and implementing a new economy that is circular – not linear – based on the principle of "closing the loop" of the lifecycles of products, services, waste, materials, water and energy.
