Ecomondo 2025 : The highlights of this year's leading green economy event
Ecomondo continues to extend its international reach. Now in its 28th year, the event organised by Italian Exhibition Group (IEG) is set to take place from 4th to 7th November 2025 at the Rimini Exhibition Centre. This latest edition sees the event take a new step forward, consolidating its global dimension and confirming its role as a reference hub for professionals, businesses, and institutions involved in green, blue, and circular economies.
Not to be missed are the international conferences, which promise to be an authentic 'international think tank' with over 200 conferences and workshops involving the participation of more than 800 experts. Topics for debate will include crucial issues such as digitalisation, climate mitigation and the use of cutting-edge technologies, such as digital twins, as well as collaboration and financing plans for the green economy. There will also be space for eco-design, waste prevention and regenerative practices, providing a comprehensive and up-to-date agenda for anyone looking to understand and lead the ecological transition.
