Circular Economy In Action Forum Ceremony
To celebrate circularity, we recognized the organizations in each of the three Award Categories during the event that combined the Circular Economy Forum and Award Ceremony.
The Circular Economy Forum and Award Ceremony was the first event in the GCC region that brought together Circular Economy leaders, pioneers, practitioners, explorers, and researchers across industries and supply chains to celebrate circularity.
The event program included keynote speeches, panel discussions, workshops, networking opportunities, and the Award Ceremony, where we honored the achievements of the outstanding Award nominees. Selected Award applicants had the opportunity to share their strategies for institutionalizing Circularity in their operations and present their proven circular projects, products, and practices. In addition to showcasing the most impactful circular solutions in the GCC, the Forum featured a session dedicated to Governmental policies and regulations in the region.
