The 2027 season
BangoPure brings the world's makers, suppliers and operators into the same rooms as Europe's buyers, investors, regulators and development finance institutions. Two summits in 2027. One closed exchange inside them. One standard.
BY APPLICATION · ASSESSED ADMISSION
Obligated buyers, verified suppliers, investors and governments. A committee decides who comes in and no reasons are given. Buyers are hosted, pre-matched to certified supply, with the paperwork ready before they arrive. You cannot buy your way through this door, which is exactly why it is worth walking through.
OPEN TO BOOK · ANYONE MAY ATTEND
The European Circular Summit and the Catalyst summit days, trade floor, workshops, fashion show and Gala. Choose the event, book what you are coming for, done. No application, no waiting.
Discover the best events happening in major hubs.
Everything CATALYST runs sits on one side of this line. Read across the two cards - the row order is the same on both - and you will know in ten seconds which one you need.

THE CORRIDOR
Within Catalyst, The Corridor is where the connection between the world's producers and Europe's buyers becomes concrete. Obligated European buyers are matched directly with verified global supply, meetings are pre-arranged with documentation ready, and deals are signed in the room rather than left to chance on a trade-show floor.
Admission is earned through assessment, not purchase. Buyers are hosted. Suppliers are assessed by a Selection Committee. Investors and delegations enter by application. A floor anyone can pay onto is a floor no buyer trusts, and that is exactly why a place here means something.
5 steps
Buyers, suppliers, investors and delegations submit an application - not a payment.
A named Selection Committee of peers reviews every application against consistent published criteria.
Decisions are issued in writing. Grounds are not given. Standing, not spend, decides.
Pre-qualified obligated buyers are hosted to the floor and pre-matched to verified supply.
Contracting desks - legal, trade finance, logistics - turn a meeting into an agreement before you leave.
What admission includes
This mirrors how the world's leading professional exchanges and juried fairs actually operate: buyers are hosted and qualified, sellers apply, and a peer committee decides admission. It is what makes the room worth being in.
ANNUAL ENGAGEMENT
Membership is the standing that makes you eligible for The Corridor and carries privileges across the whole year — not a single ticket, but a continuous relationship with the exchange. Membership is one thing; a seat at a given edition is another. You hold the first to be eligible for the second.

EVIDENTIAL, NOT ASPIRATIONAL
Every event in this sector publishes attendance. We publish something no one else can: the verified value of trade agreed on our floor - the CATALYST Ledger - because it clears through our own marketplace and is documented by our own passport and verification tools.
Independently checked, published within seven days.

THE POLICY BRIEFING
A comprehensive look at the regulatory milestones driving the secondary raw material transition in Europe.
01
The EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation entered into force on 18 July 2024, making Digital Product Passports mandatory across product categories in scope.
02
The EU's central Digital Product Passport Registry reached its operational launch milestone on 19 July 2026 — every European company now has a live system and an unfinished set of rules.
03
CEN-CENELEC's Joint Technical Committee 24 has developed the first series of eight European standards for the Digital Product Passport framework.
04
The EU Circular Economy Act, due for adoption in 2026, is explicitly intended to create a single market for secondary raw materials and to double the EU circular material use rate to around 24% by 2030, from 12.2% in 2024.
Most of what BangoPure runs is open to anyone who books. One part of it is not, and that is by design. Here is how to know which door is yours.
