The 2027 season

Where the circular economy comes to trade, invest and decide.

BangoPure brings Africa's makers, suppliers and operators into the same rooms as Europe's buyers, investors, regulators and development finance institutions. Two summits in 2027. One closed exchange inside them. One standard.

BangoPure Events

We do not run conferences about the circular economy. We run the rooms where it happens: a summit where development finance and governments turn conversations into commitments, a trade floor where certified African materials meet European buyers, and a closed exchange where deals are signed in the room. Everything we build is designed to produce outcomes, not contacts.

February 2027 · The institutional summit

BangoPure European Circular Summit 2027

Hosted in Ireland · Six days

Where development finance institutions, government delegations and enterprise investors meet the African circular economy operators who are ready to scale. Delegates arrive with live mandates, capital to deploy and procurement requirements to fill, and the week is structured so those conversations turn into agreements before it ends.

The timing is deliberate. February 2027 is when the EU Battery Passport mandate activates, and demand for implementation guidance, DFI co-investment and verified supply chain partnerships is at its most intense. Smaller and more senior than a trade show, and built for decisions rather than introductions.

Catalyst By BangoPure

United Kingdom · Six days · Global Eco-Artisan and Circular Economy Summit

Six days for the people who make, trade, fund and regulate the circular economy. Artisans and certified materials suppliers from Africa and beyond meet UK and EU buyers on a live trade floor. Founders pitch to investors. Procurement officers sit down with suppliers. Designers show sustainable collections on the runway.

Three summit days, four trade days and two Eco-Artisan Workshop days run in layers, so a visitor can come for an afternoon on the trade floor, an artisan can come only for the workshops, and a corporate delegate can take the full week. On the final night the whole community gathers for the Waste2Wealth Gala and the £25,000 Pitch Award.

Inside Catalyst · admitted, never sold

The Corridor

The closed, hosted exchange at Catalyst 2027

Within Catalyst, The Corridor is where the connection between Africa's producers and Europe's buyers becomes concrete. Obligated European buyers are matched directly with verified African supply, meetings are pre-arranged with documentation ready, and deals are signed in the room rather than left to chance on a trade-show floor.

Admission is earned through assessment, not purchase. Buyers are hosted. Suppliers are assessed by a Selection Committee. Investors and delegations enter by application. A floor anyone can pay onto is a floor no buyer trusts, and that is exactly why a place here means something.

Two ways in. One standard.

Most of what BangoPure runs is open to anyone who books. One part of it is not, and that is by design. Here is how to know which door is yours.

The open door

The European Circular Summit and the Catalyst summit days, trade floor, workshops, fashion show and Gala. Choose the event, book what you are coming for, done. No application, no waiting.

The Corridor

Obligated buyers, verified suppliers, investors and governments. A committee decides who comes in and no reasons are given. Buyers are hosted, pre-matched to certified supply, with the paperwork ready before they arrive. You cannot buy your way through this door, which is exactly why it is worth walking through.
