WCEF2025 Accelerator Session: Circular Raw Materials – Latin America’s Role in Europe’s Microelectronics Strategic Autonomy
16 May | 8.30-10.00 CET, Brazil
This event is an accelerator session at the World Circular Economy Forum 2025 wcef2025.com. Europe’s semiconductor industry is heavily dependent on external sources for critical raw materials, leaving it vulnerable to global disruptions, geopolitical risks, and supply shortages. A coordinated approach is needed to catch up in semiconductor innovation, sustainability, and strategic autonomy. In this official World Circular Economy Forum 2025 Accelerator Session, we will discuss how circular economy innovations in Latin America Critical can contribute to Europe’s strategic autonomy in semiconductors and microelectronics.
Discover how Latin America’s circular economy innovations can contribute to Europe’s strategic autonomy in semiconductors and microelectronics. This session will explore sustainable raw material sourcing, e-waste recycling, and cross-regional partnerships that secure critical resources while reducing environmental impacts. Gain insights into real-world examples and actionable solutions driving the global transition to a circular and resilient electronics industry.
