The European Commission's Directorate General for International Partnerships (DG INTPA) invites EU companies and business associations to take part in the Global Gateway Survey on the circular economy in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).

The survey targets European companies already active in, or considering entry into, circular economy markets in LAC, especially in:

• Sustainable waste and water management
• Industrial value chains (e.g. recycling, remanufacturing)
• Resource-efficient and circular business models

Your contribution will give a clearer picture of the technologies that the EU can supply, market dynamics, investment opportunities and barriers.

Under the EU-Latin American and the Caribbean Global Gateway Investment Agenda, the EU facilitates dialogue with Team Europe actors such as relevant financial institutions, development banks and industry to explore de-risking strategies, innovative finance mechanisms and technical assistance facilities in support of strategic circular economy investments. 

This survey will help identify the needs and opportunities to better target such support and boost European private sector engagement in LAC’s fast-growing circular economy.

Deadline: 31 May.
