African Workshops

African Workshops


The online Preparatory African Workshops are an ACEN initiative labelled as Official WCEF2022 Side Events. This five-part workshop series is based on the African Circular Economy Alliance’s (ACEAs) five big bets: Fashion and Textiles, Food Systems, Electronics, Packaging and the Built Environment, and will take place between July and November 2022. 


The workshops’ main objective is to create momentum for the first WCEF2022 to be held in Africa by bringing together actors from across the continent and providing better-informed participants at the main Forum and African Studios. 


Reflecting the main forum's programme, these workshops will focus on cross-cutting themes such as innovation, entrepreneurship, technology, investment, policy and others. The workshops aim to stimulate a conversation between entrepreneurs, SMMEs and decision-makers on how circularity can be used to overcome barriers to entry in these five sectors in Africa. 


If you’d like to participate in one of our workshops as a case study, panellist or partake in the open discussion, please register on our
