In just a week or so, the Circular Valley Convention (CVC) will open its doors at the Areal Böhler in Düsseldorf. On March 12 to 13, 2025, this platform for the industrial circular economy will bring together leading figures from business, science, politics, and society under the theme ‘Uniting Industries for a Circular Tomorrow’. With over 100 exhibitors, 200 top speakers, inspiring presentations, groundbreaking innovations, and premium networking opportunities, CVC provides a platform to actively shape the transition towards a circular economy.
A central pillar of the convention is its comprehensive conference programme. Key topics include the development of efficient value chains, core technologies for circular transformation, and sustainable material management. Across three stages, renowned thought leaders and industry experts will offer valuable insights into innovations, strategies, and global trends that are shaping the circular world of tomorrow.
The main stage is structured into seven sessions covering circular plastics, packaging, construction, consumer goods, digitalisation, logistics, and circular economy business models.
In addition to keynotes, panel discussions, and presentations on the main stage, attendees should not miss the innovation stage, where start ups, researchers, and established companies will showcase cutting edge strategies and technologies driving circular transformation. Hands-on masterclasses will provide in-depth knowledge of specific circular applications.
Designated networking areas will facilitate cross-sector collaboration and partnerships.
The Circular Valley Convention connects science and industry, theory and practice. It covers all dimensions of the circular economy and the entire value chain across industries and materials.
In the expo area, more than 100 exhibitors – including Canon, SAP, Epson, Ernst & Young, Pöppelmann, Fraunhofer CCPE, Siegfried Jacob Metallwerke, PGS Group, Brüninghoff, the Leonhard Kurz Foundation, and many more – will showcase circular economy solutions.
These solutions span all phases of the circular economy, from the use of renewable raw materials to product design, manufacturing, logistics, product utilisation, and end of life processes such as collection, sorting, and recycling.
‘The Circular Valley Convention provides start ups, mid sized businesses, and global market leaders with a unique opportunity to position themselves as pioneers in the circular economy and engage with potential customers for their circular solutions,’ said Philip Scheffler, project lead of the Circular Valley Convention at Messe Düsseldorf GmbH. ‘At the same time, CVC serves as a content hub for the circular economy, delivering key impulses for a sustainable and resource efficient economic model. This makes it a valuable event for all participants.’
