It is with great pleasure that IES Events, official organizers of the event, present to the general public the second edition of Waste Management Europe Conference & Exhibition, event focused on waste management and the circular economy that will be held in Bergamo from 18th to 20th April 2023. 

Waste management is not a European problem but a global one, and we know that Europe is at the forefront in this sector, now more than ever in the spotlight of the world within the energy crisis situation we are experiencing; it therefore becomes even more relevant to move away from primary energy sources of fossil origin and look at alternative sources. 

In this context, the role of Waste Management Europe as an important international platform for discussing crucial issues and seeking solutions for the environment is even more significant in facilitating the promotion of a sustainable economy based on innovation, technology and know-how. 

Some estimates indicate a 75% increase in global waste generation by 2050; to avoid such a scenario it is important, if not imperative, to urgently implement environmental projects and solutions aimed at guaranteeing a cleaner and more sustainable environment. 

European countries have proven solutions from which the world can learn. WME will highlight the critical issues we face right now, and will be the event for the entire industry of the sector that will chart the path forward. 

The WME 2023 edition, organized once again at the Bergamo Fair, confirms and registers a growing interest in the institutional, entrepreneurial and scientific fields. 

The event aims to bring together over the three days of the fair and conference 200 companies divided into six industrial macro-areas, including start-ups, and will welcome around 5000 people including Italian and international visitors, delegates, exhibitors and speakers. 

The part dedicated to the Conference will be developed in around 20 technical and strategic sessions, and a series of workshops will instead be held in the Exhibitors Showcase inside the exhibition pavilion.

We look forward to welcoming you in Bergamo!
