About this Event
Join the CirculariTAY Launch Event!
29 September 2026 | MSIP Innovation Hub, 9:30am to 2:30pm inc. Lunch
Join us for the launch of CirculariTAY, a collaborative initiative bringing together businesses, public sector partners, academia and communities to shape a more circular and sustainable future for Tayside.
This interactive event will introduce the overarching vision for CirculariTAY, share the findings of our baseline report, and showcase examples of innovative projects already demonstrating the potential of the circular economy in action.
Participants will explore opportunities and challenges across key themes including sustainable food systems, manufacturing and industrial innovation, construction and the built environment, skills and workforce development, community wealth building, resource efficiency, and place-based collaboration. Through facilitated discussions, attendees will help identify priorities, barriers, opportunities and the support needed to accelerate progress.
Insights gathered during the event will inform a wider stakeholder engagement report and help shape the next phase of CirculariTAY's development.
We hope you can join us to help shape the future direction of CirculariTAY.
