About the Innovation Platform Conference

ESA functions as a public-private partnership platform dedicated to enhancing the well-being of people and communities through business creation focused on resource circulation and natural symbiosis. It connects diverse stakeholders, including companies, municipalities, government agencies, research institutions, and local players, transcending their individual capacities. This conference will share the co-creation themes and projects that ESA will advance with its members starting in 2026. It will also introduce the revamped activity concept and structure designed to facilitate more concrete co-creation practices.

Key Conference Contents

The agenda includes a session by experts on the theme of "Community Well-being." Additionally, programs addressing contemporary issues such as "Circular Economy" and "Nature Positive" will be conducted.

Introductions of participating companies and municipalities, along with networking sessions, are also planned, promising a dynamic exchange of ideas.
