Welcome to the closing events of the Nordic Circularity Piloting Program for Technical Building Solutions!
As the program approaches its conclusion, we are opening up the results and learnings from the eight pilots through two Review Sessions in March and a Final Event in April.
These events will highlight concrete pilot results, key insights, and lessons learned, as well as explore what is needed to scale circular solutions for technical solutions and to advance supporting policies.
REVIEW SESSIONS
Dates: March 19 & March 26, 2026
Time: 9:00–11:30 CET

FINAL EVENT – The Future of Circularity in Technical Solutions
Date: April 22, 2026
Time: 13:00–15:00 CET
Location: Event venue at Nordbygg Fair, Stockholm & Online (hybrid)
The Final Event brings together learnings from across the entire program. The focus shifts from individual pilots to synthesis and scale: we will discuss what the results mean for the future of circularity in technical installations, which next steps are needed to enable broader adoption, and what policy recommendations can help accelerate the transition.
