Impact Investing: Why circularity pays off?

​As capital increasingly shifts towards sustainable solutions, circularity is emerging not just as an environmental imperative but as a compelling investment opportunity.

​This session brings together leading investors and ecosystem players to explore how impact investing is evolving in practice: where capital is flowing, what makes circular business models investable, and how financial returns align with measurable impact.

​From fund strategies and risk considerations to real-world case insights, the discussion will unpack what it takes to scale circular innovation through smart capital.

​A conversation for those looking to understand where sustainability meets investment logic and why circularity pays off.
