Invest in the future - Disruptive materials for Circular Economy

We are delighted to invite you to the upcoming investment forum “Circular Economy Startup Initiative”, in collaboration with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and Circularity Capital, to highlight the opportunity of innovative material applications for Circular Economy - a €1.8 trillion annual potential for Europe¹.

The event will take place during the morning of May 26, 2017 in the Innovation Center of Intesa Sanpaolo - London Hub, following the Financial Times “Circular Economy Summit” of May 25 sponsored by Intesa Sanpaolo.

After the great success of the conference held in November 2016 on Circular Economy financing solutions, this second edition will focus on disruptive materials and their business applications. The topic will be debated with a group of Corporate experts and specialists followed by a distinctive selection of Circular Emerging Startup pitches.

Please find attached the agenda with Round table and Startup participants details.

During the event you will have the chance to:

• Learn about innovative circular materials and disruptive startups reshaping our future
• Increase the resilience of your investment portfolio with Circular Economy insights
• Deepen the impact of processes and new business models such as design for remanufacturing, products-as-a-service and raw materials procurement
