Ecomondo 2025: A Premier Event on Green Economy Set in Italy
Ecomondo 2025, organized by the Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), is set to take place from November 4 to 7, 2025, at the Rimini Expo Centre in Italy. As the foremost event dedicated to the green economy in Europe and the Mediterranean region, Ecomondo aims to shine a spotlight on circular, green, and blue economies. With a vast exhibition space exceeding 166,000 square meters, this event is anticipated to be a vital platform for dialogue and collaboration among businesses, governmental bodies, and academic institutions.
Corrado Peraboni, CEO of IEG, emphasized the importance of Ecomondo, stating that it will host a rich program featuring over 100 high-profile events. These events will discuss pressing environmental challenges and innovative solutions, facilitating the pursuit of a sustainable future. Among the most highly anticipated gatherings during this four-day event is the General States on the Green Economy, held in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and the National Council of the Green Economy. It promises to be a strategic discussion on environmental policies and initiatives.
The conference agenda, curated by Ecomondo's scientific committee, which is chaired by Professor Fabio Fava, will cover crucial themes of sustainability across various sectors. Notably, the focus will include soil health, with the fourth edition of the General States of Soil Health also taking place. This highlights the continued emphasis on maintaining ecosystems and the natural environment as part of a holistic approach to sustainability.
A significant aspect of the event will be the exploration of satellite technology applications, particularly Earth Observation. This will include the conference titled "From Sky to Ground," organized by the Polytechnic University of Turin, CINECA, and the Spatial Agency, showcasing how technology can benefit environmental monitoring and management.
Furthermore, the event will highlight technological solutions for reusing end-of-life materials. The main topic will be discussed at the session titled “Technological Solutions for Resource Recovery from End-of-Life Products and Materials in the Mediterranean Landscape,” organized by the Italian Chemical Society-CABC Division, ISWA International, and ATIA-ISWA.
Innovative water management will also be a key component of Ecomondo 2025. The session “European and Mediterranean Nature-Based, Digital and Cyber-Physical Initiatives Projects” will focus on projects that incorporate both digital innovations and nature-based solutions to tackle water issues.
Another significant event is titled “What Bioeconomy for the Next Generation?” focusing on regenerative bioeconomy initiatives that can support young generations in the Mediterranean and Africa. This underscores the need for sustainable practices that not only mitigate environmental impacts but also support social and economic growth.
Africa will once again take center stage with the fifth edition of the Africa Green Growth Forum, where investors, policymakers, and professionals will gather to share experiences and case studies on sustainable development. This forum represents a unique opportunity for knowledge exchange and collaborative efforts towards green growth in the region.
In conclusion, Ecomondo 2025 promises to be a comprehensive and impactful event, facilitating deep discussions and collaborations around the green economy. The program is available online for those interested in exploring all details and participating in this monumental event dedicated to sustainable futures.
