The InvestCEC project will host its final event at the European Parliament in Brussels on Tuesday, October 14th (14:30 – 16:30). InvestCEC was tested in the city of Klagenfurt, Austria, and will showcase its experience and main achievements in developing a replicable model to initiate circular economy projects in regions and cities.
Part of the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative (CCRI), InvestCEC aims to bridge the gap between local action and EU-wide ambition, offering investment readiness support, and raising a fund to enable public private partnerships around the pilot city of Klagenfurt.
The event will bring EU and local policymakers, investors, and companies together to discuss how to foster the circular economy in regions and cities. A particular focus will be placed on how to scale up investments in circular initiatives and how local/EU policies can help promote green public procurement and public-private partnerships.
Highlights of the event will include:
- The presentation of InvestCEC methodology, policy recommendations, and reflection on lessons learnt and next steps
- An insightful panel session with Sandro Gozi (Member of the European Parliament), René Cerne (Klagenfurt City Council Member), Kathrina Rieger (Austria Regional Manager, Concular GmbH), and an investor (TBA)
- Future replication opportunities (TBC)
