Ecomondo 2025 will return to Rimini Expo Centre from 4 to 7 November, consolidating its position as an international hub for professionals, businesses and institutions engaged in the green, blue and circular economies. Organized by Italian Exhibition Group, the 28th edition underscores a broadened global scope with a comprehensive conference program designed to inform decision making, share best practices and foster collaboration across sectors. The event is positioned as a reference platform for stakeholders seeking to understand and lead the ecological transition through technology deployment, policy alignment and investment.
The conference agenda is set to function as an international think tank with more than 200 conferences and workshops and the participation of over 800 experts. Discussions will address digitalisation, climate mitigation and the use of advanced tools such as digital twins, alongside cooperation and financing schemes for the green economy. Additional sessions will focus on eco-design, waste prevention and regenerative practices. The program also features dedicated tracks on water management, resource recovery from end-of-life products and materials, and cross-Mediterranean collaboration, offering an updated and structured view of priorities and solutions for circularity.
Within this framework, multiple organizers and institutional partners will contribute to curated sessions that span technical deep dives and high-level policy dialogues. Attendees can expect sector-relevant content ranging from critical raw materials management and bioeconomy standards to reuse, repair and eco-design approaches. The format combines plenary debates with thematic workshops and forum-style exchanges, creating opportunities for knowledge transfer and networking over the four-day schedule.
