The necessity to transition from a linear to a circular economy is shaping multiple sectors in Colombia and Peru. With national action plans supporting the shift, there is a high demand for sustainable solutions in sectors such as mining, transport and energy. Tap into these business opportunities and join us for a visit to Colombia and Peru in November.

Finnpartnership, together with the Embassies of Finland in Bogotá and Lima, is inviting Finnish companies to B2B events focused on circular economy in Bogotá, Colombia and Lima, Peru on 23-27 November 2026. The week will include multiple events and visits, all themed around circular economy, where Finnish companies get to meet local stakeholders and present their offering.

While circular economy models are rapidly implemented across different sectors in Colombia and Peru, there is a particular need for solutions related to mining, transport, and infrastructure as well as energy, water, and waste management. There is a high interest in Finnish knowhow and technologies, such as smart water management, mineral processing, smart grids, energy efficiency solutions, and recycling of plastics, textiles, and metals.
