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.
