Opportunities in Italian circular economy
Join the webinar on opportunities in circular economy in Italy, organized by the Embassy of Finland in Rome / Team Finland Italy, and supported by Business Finland and Sitra.
The purpose of the webinar is to raise awareness about the business opportunities in circular economy in Italy.
The target audience is Finnish companies wanting to learn about circular economy in Italy, and hear practical examples of how companies operate in Italy.
There are a lot of opportunities in Italy for companies in circular and green economy and sustainability. The Italian government is strongly committed to green transition: EU recovery fund allocations have been earmarked for circular economy initiatives, while public incentives also boost private investments and create further possibilities for private sector cooperation companies.
Italy’s objectives are optimization of collection and treatment processes, inclusion of technology, carbon neutrality, new business models and better utilization of waste (waste-to-energy). Plastic, textile, paper and WEEE are focal segments, too. There is room offer for innovative solutions and services.
