Ecomondo is Italian Exhibition Group's international trade fair for the green and circular economy, now in its 29th edition. For four days Rimini becomes a meeting point for businesses, institutions, researchers and policymakers working on the technologies and policies behind Europe's ecological transition, combining a large exhibition with a curated conference programme.
