The Motagua Circular Forum aims to be a catalyst for change in the Motagua River Basin, where circular economy, European investment and collaborative governance build bridges towards a sustainable future.
The forum will bring together local and Team Europe partners, including EU representatives, Member State organisations, financing institutions and the European private sector. It will create a platform for dialogue with the objective of generating partnerships and investment in circular economy infrastructure and value chains in the river basin.
Companies from the water and waste management sectors are invited to be part of this initiative and express their interest in participating in the forum to pitch their solutions in Guatemala.

This report explores ways to boost stakeholder engagement in EU bioeconomy policy, a crucial step in shaping a sustainable and circular economy.
After identifying key gaps and opportunities, the study proposes seven recommendations to enhance stakeholder involvement, such as setting up an EU Bioeconomy Stakeholder Platform and a Bioeconomy Youth Forum. This will enable the EU to ensure that its bioeconomy policy is more inclusive, effective and responsive to the needs of all stakeholders.
The report sets out four case studies of successful stakeholder engagement initiatives. This includes the ECESP, which is described as having been highly successful in achieving its objectives and having inspired the establishment of similar platforms in other regions.
A total of EUR 172 million will be dedicated to advancing competitive circular bio-based industries in Europe across 13 topics. All stakeholders of the circular bio-based sector can apply: deadline 18 September!
