Circular Republic Festival: Circular Innovation as a Competitive Advantage
Stage, Networking, and Reach for Partners

Circular Republic Festival 2025

Many companies develop strong circular economy solutions but struggle to position themselves as frontrunners. At the same time, they lack efficient ways to connect with the right peers and innovators who bring proven solutions to their challenges. A dedicated platform that combines visibility, networking, and reach was missing.

On Stage, Off Stage, and Beyond

  • On stage: partners showcase real challenges, solutions, and success stories.
  • Off stage: workshops, tours, and networking sessions connect partners with peers, policymakers, and researchers.
  • Beyond the festival: media coverage and Circular Republic’s channels, including LinkedIn, extend visibility.

Partners included BMW Group, Aurubis, SAP, ebm-papst, Güntner, Siemens, Tengelmann Twenty-One, GORE, Interzero, PreZero, BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt, McKinsey & Company, IFAT, Zero Waste Innovation Hub, H&Z, and Bertelsmann Stiftung.

We celebrated a powerful start to CIRCULAR REPUBLIC festival, and what a vibrant beginning it was! So many guests, so many questions, ideas, and impulses on how we can build a circular economy not only in and around Munich but cross-functionally and cross-industry. The energy at Munich Urban Colab and throughout the day made it clear: change needs makers, and here is where it happens.
