With the support of

Regulation

One of the main drivers of investment. CSRD, CS3D, bio-waste, green taxonomy...

There will be many environmental regulations in 2024, and Pollutec Paris will be one of the opportunities to take stock of them.

 

Finance

From the investments needed for the ecological transition to support for innovation, financing is at the heart of the transformations underway.

Pollutec Paris will be presenting a wide range of financing programs and opportunities.

Resource

Air, water, land, minerals, biodiversity: resources are everywhere, yet finite.

Our mission is to reinvent our relationship with resources, by transforming our uses and our impact.




Employment & Training

According to the SGPE, the ecological transition will involve nearly 8 million jobs, and could create 150,000 net new jobs by 2030.

The transformation of our business models requires the transformation of professions, the development of skills and the training of workers in all environmental sectors.
