DICE N+ Electronics & Circularity Roadshow

13 October 2026

Queens University Belfast, in collaboration with eFutures Network+

Tues 13 October, 09:30-15:00

 

How do we build a more resilient, competitive and sustainable electronics sector while securing access to critical materials?

Join leading voices from industry, academia, innovation and policy for a highly interactive one-day roadshow exploring the future of circularity in electronics. This event brings together experts tackling the biggest challenges and opportunities across the electronics value chain, from critical materials and resource security through to product design, reuse, repair, refurbishment and remanufacturing.

This roadshow is designed to help attendees

  • Understand where the greatest commercial opportunities for circularity exist across the electronics sector.
  • Explore emerging approaches to critical material recovery, resource security and value retention.
  • Learn from leaders working at the forefront of circular technology, business innovation and policy development.
  • Contribute to solution-focused discussions on the barriers currently limiting adoption and scale.
  • Build valuable connections with researchers, manufacturers, technology developers, investors and policymakers.

The day will combine keynote insights, expert panels, interactive discussion and collaborative workshops to help us move beyond theory and towards practical action with a focus on two key areas:

  • The Outer Loops: Materials & Resource Security through recycling, repurposing and critical resource recovery.
  • The Inner Loops: Value Retention & Life Extension keeping products and components in use for longer at their highest value.

We’re delighted to announce speakers and panellists including

Who should attend?

The day is recommended for electronics manufacturers, technology developers, supply chain leaders, sustainability and circular economy professionals, investors and innovation organisations, policymakers and standards bodies, academic researchers.
