The Circular Valley Convention offers a wide range of benefits for all stakeholders involved. For business, in particular corporates and start-ups, it provides an opportunity to showcase circular strategies and solutions, network with industry leaders and potential partners, and draw inspiration from best practices. Scientists benefit from an intensive exchange between research and practice, the opportunity to present their research results and to network with partners who can put their research results into practice. Policymakers are also closely involved: future policy regulations can be discussed, direct exchanges with decision-makers facilitated and insights gained into projects worthy of funding. Finally, society as a whole benefit from comprehensive information on circular practices, exciting lectures and innovative approaches presented at the convention.
