Organised under the umbrella of EU Green Week, this event will showcase pioneering digital and AI-driven solutions developed by EU-funded projects aiming to enhance sustainability, reduce waste, and drive strategic autonomy across various industrial sectors. From metallurgy and food production to waste management, wood reuse, and water treatment, the session will highlight how technological innovation is shaping the future of the circular economy in Europe.

Hosted by the REACT Cluster, moderated by Anna Brékine, Project Manager, Mandat International on behalf of ALCHIMIA Project

Resource Efficiency and Automation for Circular Transformation (REACT) is a cluster of six forward-looking European projects: ALCHIMIA, CLARUS, DARROW, GRINNER, RECLAIM, and Wood2Wood.
These initiatives collectively promote advanced circular solutions enabled by AI, robotics, and digitalisation, demonstrating how European research is transforming environmental challenges into industrial opportunities.
