The first and largest global platform for Cradle to Cradle and Circular Economy since 2014 is back! For the tenth time, we invite around 1,000 participants to exchange ideas and network at the International Cradle to Cradle Congress 2026 in September: panel discussions with high-ranking speakers from politics and science, best practices from business, inspiring keynotes on the transformation of our society, and numerous networking opportunities.

We create future viability for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The transformation of the economy is a major challenge for many companies. Exchanging ideas and sharing experiences with others is helpful in this regard. That's what the Baden-Württemberg Resource Efficiency and Circular Economy Congress, or KONGRESS BW for short, is for. For 14 years.

Anyone who wants to implement climate protection , achieve a circular economy or resource efficiency, I need to know: How do I get there, who else is coming with me, and who is already there?

At the BW CONGRESS

• Entrepreneurs describe their experiences

• Experts report on what is possible

• We bring you together with movers and shakers from business, science and politics.

The Beyond Economy Festival is where the future of the economy takes place.

The Beyond Economy Festival is the meeting place for everyone who wants to rethink and actively shape the economy. Here, companies, start-ups, and thought leaders come together to share knowledge, drive innovation, and develop joint solutions for the challenges of our time.

The festival offers inspiring keynotes, practical workshops and co-creation labs to turn ideas into concrete solutions.

Join us, network with like-minded people and help shape the economy of the future.
