On 26 March 2026, the Circular Manufacturing Industry Foundation will organize the webinar "Circular for a Future-Proof Mechanical Engineering Industry." This webinar will explore which circular strategies will make the difference between a vulnerable and a future-proof industry and the experiences of companies that have implemented them. It will also address developments that are relevant today and tomorrow.

Mechanical engineering faces major challenges. Material shortages, regulations, and changing customer demands demand new choices. This webinar offers insights into these challenges. The webinar is organized by the Circular Manufacturing Industry Foundation in collaboration with the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), Circonnect, and other partners as part of Circular Economy Week.

For whom

The webinar is intended for companies and professionals in the mechanical engineering sector, machine manufacturers and suppliers in the manufacturing industry, and professionals working on circularity, design, or strategy within mechanical engineering companies.
