Rimini (Italy), 1 July 2025 – In view of the coming edition of Ecomondo, scheduled for 4-7 November 2025 at Rimini Expo Centre in Italy, Italian Exhibition Group is promoting three international stops designed to anticipate content, technologies and collaboration opportunities in key sectors of the ecological transition. The tour will involve Egypt, Serbia and Poland, strengthening the dialogue between Italian companies and foreign markets and consolidating Ecomondo as a reference hub for the green, blue and circular economy in the Mediterranean and Europe. The stops will provide an opportunity to engage with high-profile international operators and buyers from the countries involved in the roadshow prior to the next edition of Ecomondo.

THREE STOPS FOR ECOMONDO’S INTERNATIONAL ROADSHOW

The first stop will be on 8th July in Cairo, in collaboration with the Italian Chamber of Commerce for Egypt, the Italian Embassy and the Italian Trade Agency Office. The main topics of the meeting will be the water cycle, bioenergy in agriculture, waste management and energy efficiency. Egypt has defined a National Climate Strategy 2050 and is aiming to produce 42% of renewable energy by 2035. The event will include themed sessions and B2B meetings between Egyptian stakeholders and Italian companies with the participation of public and private entities operating in environmental sectors. In 2024, the Egyptian delegation counted 40 top buyers from industries, utilities, municipalities and ESCOs, with 401 B2B meetings organized both during Ecomondo and at KEY - The Energy Transition Expo.

On September 9th the roadshow will arrive in Belgrade, Serbia, in collaboration with the Serbian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and with support from regional advisor, MZ Consulting. The meeting will focus on Waste Management, Solar Energy and Water, rapidly-growing strategic areas in the Balkans, where investments in sustainability are driven by local incentives and EU pre-accession programs.

September 11th will be the turn of Warsaw with the Green Grill format created with Confindustria Poland. An informal, low-impact networking event has been scheduled, inspired by the values of Ecomondo and KEY, with a focus on biogas, plastic waste management, water treatment and solar energy. Guests will include Italian companies and Polish stakeholders, who will discuss concrete projects and applied technologies. Participation comes within a context in which Poland is investing decisively in order to modernize its environmental infrastructure thanks to European funds and national plans. Confindustria Poland now has 105 member companies, 30,000 represented employees and an aggregate turnover of 4.6 billion euros.

ECOMONDO 2025 TOPICS
