Circularity Now 2026
Back by popular demand, and building on the momentum and themes of our Circularity Sessions programme; Circularity Now 2026 is for people who want to move beyond talking about the circular economy and start making it work.
As pressure grows on businesses, designers and policymakers to respond to climate, resource and supply chain challenges, circularity is no longer optional. But knowing what to do, and how to do it, remains a barrier. This event focuses on the real conditions that unlock circular innovation, across sectors, scales and disciplines.
Through inspiring panels and demonstrations, Circularity Now 2026 explores how circular models are being enabled today, what is holding others back, and what needs to change. You will leave with fresh perspective, renewed momentum and a clearer sense of how circular approaches can be applied in your own work.
Circularity Now 2026 brings together founders, designers, manufacturers, policymakers, investors and sustainability leaders who are actively shaping the transition to a circular economy.
The event explores the systems that make circularity possible, from infrastructure and materials to business models, skills and regulation. Rather than focusing on a single industry or solution, it highlights the shared challenges and opportunities that cut across sectors such as product design, manufacturing and service industry.
You will hear from organisations putting circular principles into practice, including Plus X Innovation’s work with Batch.Works on sustainable distributed manufacturing, alongside wider case studies that show how circular thinking can be applied in different contexts.
Designed to spark ideas, connections and action, Circularity Now 2026 is for anyone who wants to drive positive change and impact within the circular economy. Whether you are building a business, influencing strategy or shaping policy, the evening offers insight, inspiration and practical guidence.

The people I have met here make it a dream coming in a few times a week! I don't see myself being able to go back to working from home the same way I did before coming to Plus X Innovation, I don't think I could leave the sense of community behind. It really is something everyone who is working from home should try!
Central Research Laboratory has contributed to our journey in many ways: access to a network, manufacturing, procurement services, and workshop facilities. CRL enables us to feel like a slightly bigger company than we would otherwise be if left to our own devices. Being here at CRL as a cohort member, makes it feel a lot more real and plugged in into the ecosystem.
Besides the workshop facilities, the best thing about working in the Brighton hub has got to be being able to collaborate with people in the same building as you. The variety of expertise and experience in the building is awesome.
We could not be in a better place to grow as a company. We get amazing support from the Plus X Innovation staff, plus collaboration opportunities with the other inspiring residents and companies. We feel like we’re living in the future of workplaces in the present and that is pretty damn cool.
Through my time at Plus X Innovation my business has turned from a student project into a registered R&D company. My favourite thing about being at Plus X Brighton is having a mini family in the office and a beautiful space to be the best you and make the best connections.
