European Circular Economy Hotspot, Budapest

The European Circular Economy Hotspot is an annual event, which has grown from a gathering first held in the Netherlands in 2016. It is held in a different location every year, with each host region chosen for demonstrating international best practice and innovation in the development of a circular economy.
Previous European hosts have included: Dublin, Bottrop, Catalonia, Belgium, Scotland, Luxembourg and Wales. Collaboration lies at the core of these Hotspot events, offering a unique opportunity to build and strengthen partnerships both within Hungary and internationally—with other nations and regions.
In 2026, the Business Council for Sustainable Development in Hungary (BCSDH) and the Hungarian Circular Economy Platform was pleased to host the 2026 European Circular Economy Hotspot. We warmly encourage you to extend your stay by a few days and visit The ENVIRONTEC powered by ÖKOINDUSTRIA International Trade Exhibition for Environmental Technology, Waste, Water and Sustainability.
