The Coordination Unit of the Circular Wallonia Strategy invites you to the third "Circular Economy Meeting". These meetings are particularly aimed at Wallonia's public players and business support organizations, with a view to raising awareness and developing a common understanding of the circular economy and its challenges, so as to better integrate them into their actions and processes. They are, however, open to any player interested in learning more about the concept.
Over the course of the meetings, the various levers of the circular economy will be explored in greater depth, enabling participants to develop their knowledge and skills. The Rencontre covers industrial symbioses in Wallonia, as well as across the Atlantic in Quebec.

As part of the regional Circular Wallonia strategy, the two organizations aim to play a pioneering role in the creation of industrial symbioses that can improve the economic and environmental performance of companies in their two areas of action, Namur and the Coeur du Hainaut, while ensuring their local roots and a better brand image.
