On 23-26 February, the European Commission organised the EU Industry Days 2021 - Europe's flagship annual event on industry. It serves as the primary platform for discussing industry challenges and co-developing opportunities and policy responses in an inclusive dialogue with a wide range of partners.

In the context of this event, the EESC organised a workshop on circular procurement on 24 February that aimed to walk policy- and decision-makers through the circular procurement process and share the daily concerns and massive change in mindset for those involved in procurement.

The event, moderated by EESC Vice-President Cillian Lohan, gathered representatives from civil society, the European Commission, and industry.
