22/05/2025
[Translate to Englisch:] Circular Republic Festival 2025

From 22 to 23 May, the Circular Republic Festival (CRF) will take place in Munich for the second time with the aim of promoting the circular economy and helping companies to become more competitive. As a partner of the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN), BayFOR will be on site at the Munich Urban Colab in the start-up area to inform Bavarian start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs about EU funding opportunities.

The theme of this year's Circular Republic Festival is 'Build your competitive advantage'. The two-day flagship event provides a platform for entrepreneurs, innovators and scientists to exchange ideas and promote innovation in the circular economy. In five innovation and impulse areas on different aspects of the circular economy, you can exchange ideas with experts and learn about practical solutions.

What else is on the agenda? 

  • Panel discussions and keynotes: Over 20 sessions with leading experts and thought leaders.
  • Start-up pitches: 40 start-ups present their ideas, and there are six category prizes.
  • Workshops: Four hands-on workshops on circular economy business models.
  • Hackathon: A four-day hackathon to promote innovative solutions.
