Leap Quantum Technology Hub & Events, IGZ
Join us for an insightful knowledge-sharing and networking session exploring how new materials and deep tech can drive circular processes in the industries, such as construction, food, textile and many others. This event aims to unite innovators, experts, and industry partners to uncover the potential of Optic, Photonics, and Material (OPM) technologies in enhancing circular economy strategies, including resource-efficient design, production, repair, refurbishment, remanufacturing, and recycling.
Building on insights from the ‘Tech & Spaces for Circular Economy’ project, speakers from different industries will discuss the technical, financial, and mechanical barriers to circular practices and highlight opportunities for breakthroughs in OPM fields.
The session includes:
- Welcome: Creative Climate Cities, Circular Berlin, and WISTA Management GmbH
- Project Insights: Overview of the ‘Tech & Spaces for Circular Economy’ project focusing on key technologies driving circular
- Panel discussion:
- Applications of OPM technologies in fostering circular industrial processes
- Collaborations across value chains for enhanced circularity
- Co-design: Diving in into the solutions provided by Deep Tech Technologies for the circular economy need
- Final Remarks: Invitation to upcoming co-creative workshops
This event is ideal for professionals, innovators, companies, and organisations interested in leveraging deep tech and Optics, Photonics and Material science technologies to enable circular economy practices across sectors. Whether you work in technology, manufacturing, sustainability, or policy-making, you'll gain valuable insights and networking opportunities.

About the Project ‘Tech and Spaces for Circular Economy’
The ‘Tech and Spaces for Circular Economy’ project, led by Creative Climate Cities, Circular Berlin, and WISTA Management GmbH, addresses the challenges of implementing circular strategies. The project explores how innovations in optics, photonics, and materials sciences can enhance and scale circular practices across industries. Funded by the Berlin Senate Department for Economic Affairs, Energy and Public Enterprises part of the Master Plan Industrial City Berlin 2022 - 2026 (MPI), this initiative aims to drive resource-efficient production and manufacturing. For more information on project goals, partners, and timeline, please visit our project webpage.
This event is part of the Photonics Week
