Dal Circular Economy Act al Regolamento Ecodesign, dall’EPR tessile all’Intelligenza Artificiale, il programma di Intelligenza Circolare 2026 attraversa i temi che oggi rendono la circolarità una questione concreta di progetto, dati e sistemi produttivi e di consumo. Tavole rotonde e Circular Speech ne discuteranno implicazioni e pratiche, mentre una mostra curata da ISIA Roma Design porterà in evidenza progetti e servizi ecoinnovativi già attivi nelle filiere e territori. A metà giornata, networking lunch e momenti di intrattenimento artistico.
