Why this Matters
Across Africa, communities and businesses are navigating increasing global uncertainty—shifting trade dynamics, resource constraints, and economic pressure. In this context, local resilience is no longer optional.
The circular economy offers more than environmental benefits. It presents an alternative system—one that moves away from overproduction, overconsumption, and extractive growth, toward thriving societies rooted in local value creation, resource consciousness, and collaboration.
This conference is designed as a platform for practical dialogue, collaboration, and action to growing need to simplify, localise, and activate circular solutions that work within African realities.
2025 Conference Highlights
Theme: Resilience
Circularity is not just about managing resources—it is about redefining how economies function and who they serve.
By focusing on local material flows, human-centered design, and collective action, this conference aims to move beyond ideas and build the foundations of resilient, inclusive, and regenerative economies across Africa.
The goal is simple: connect the right people, around the right opportunities—and make it happen.
We would like to keep the ticket price as low as possible to keep the event inclusive and accessible to all, as this is not a commercial event.
As such we are looking for amazing sponsors to assist us with making this event a success.
Any partnership opportunity can be tailored to the need and budget of the organisation.
Sponsorships in kind which will cover event costs are very welcome.
