Under the title ‘Industry Clusters Connecting Circular Economy’, the conference will show several success stories in which industrial clusters from different sectors are contributing to boost their regional ecosystems and move towards a more circular economy.

The cluster’s general director, Santiago Cuesta López, has been invited by the European Commission and the Regional Government of Lapland to present the latest achievements of the ISMC in terms of regional strategy and smart specialization. It will also contribute with his vision on how this type of industrial associations are instrumental to achieve more sustainable and circular societies, showing the ISMC strategy to engage with companies, universities, business associations and research centers.
