Circular Summit Fryslân 2025

Full Circle. Territories in transition towards a collaborative circular economy.

10 – 12 June, Fryslân, the Netherlands

Welcome,

Circular Summit Fryslân | 2025

Regions are at the core of the circular economy transition in Europe. Why? Because regions offer the right scale to both deliver impact and be in touch with individual actors who drive the circular economy. But it is only in close cooperation with each other that we can actually tackle common challenges, share pivotal knowledge and create interregional value chains. Only together we go full circle.

The European summit from 10 to 12 June 2025 will celebrate the power of the region in the circular economy. Various European networks, regions and representatives of European institutions will come together to strengthen international cooperation. It is no coincidence that the General Assembly of ACR+, the European network organisation for circular cities in regions, will be held during the summit.

Why in Fryslân? Because the region has been working together for ten years on a clean, happy and healthy region. With results, because Fryslân is one of Europe’s circular frontrunners! In 2025, we will celebrate our circular successes. We proudly show what is already made circular in Fryslân’ and invite all circular difference-makers across Europe to join us.

In collaboration with ACR+, the Circular Summit in 2025 offers a unique opportunity to meet and network. Focused on themes like biobased construction, circular plastics, and water technology, the summit will include inspiring talks, hands-on workshops, and a field tour to showcase circular practices in Fryslân

We look forward to welcoming you in June! Please register here, reserve your spot and be part of this event.

We like to welcome you in Fryslân!

About Fryslân

Fryslân is a province in the north of the Netherlands. With 650,000 inhabitants, innovative business activity, involved knowledge institutions and cooperating governments, it has now been working for 10 years towards a common goal: to be a leader in the transition to a circular economy. The Circular Friesland Association serves as a catalyst and platform of cooperation in this respect. Regional, national and European cooperation is essential for a region to make strides in the circular economy.
Therefore, Fryslân is an ambitious partner in several European projects. The province has also been a proud member, and since 2020 a permanent part of the board of directors, of ACR+ since 2018. In 2025, we will be 10 years on the road in our collaborative approach. We cordially invite you to celebrate this with us, and to continue working together on what binds us: ambitious, creative and purposeful making the circular economy.
