The two-day conference centers around Circular Living. This theme refers to a future in which living and working are based on the principles of the circular economy: living within the limits of what the planet can sustain, with respect for the natural cycles of materials, energy, and ecosystems.
Within the Brightlands ecosystem, active efforts are being made in this area through innovation, collaboration, and initiatives from businesses, knowledge institutions, governments, and communities. The conference offers an international platform to share this approach and enrich it with perspectives from other regions.
The program consists of plenary sessions, site visits, and networking moments. At the moment, we are working on further details; in broad terms, the setup is as follows.
In addition to your substantive contribution, you are β at the invitation of Governor Emile Roemer β warmly welcome to attend the festive lunch at the Government Building, where the TOP 7 regions of the ICF will be officially announced.
