Join the
CIRCULAR REPUBLIC FESTIVAL 2025
and build your competitive advantage
MAY 22-23

The CIRCULAR REPUBLIC FESTIVAL takes place in the Munich Urban Colab again, located in the center of Munich, close to Leonrodplatz. Therefore, it is easily accessible by public transport. The nearest stops are:

• “Hochschule München (Lothstraße)” - Tram 20, 21
• “Leonrodplatz” - Tram 12, 20, 21 and bus 53

We recommend using a bike if possible. There are sufficient parking spots for bikes right outside the Colab. Munich also offers many rental bikes, such as the MVG bike.

For cars, the Colab has no parking lots available. The next Park & Ride option is Westfriedhof.

If you participate in the festival online, you will receive a participation link in advance.

There are many hotels close to the event site. To walk the talk, we highly recommend taking sustainability into consideration when selecting a suitable hotel. Here are some recommendations from our side:

• Leonardo Royal Hotel Munich Distance to Colab: 30 min by public transport, 20 min by bike.
• Leonardo Munich City Olympiapark Distance to Colab: 10min by foot, 5min by bike.
• Motel One Olympia-Gate Distance to Colab: 12min by public transport, 6 min by bike, 16min by foot.

You can find the detailed version of our this year's festival program, including all panel discussions, workshops and other program highlights, here.

We are making this event as climate-friendly as we can. Some of the actions we take are:

• We reduce printed posters, signs, and flyers to a minimum.
• We design beachflags, banners, lanyards and moderation cards neutral to enable reuse and to minimize waste.
• The food will be organic, saisonal and partly from rescued food and we will only use reusable or compostable dishes.
• We will prohibit give-aways and other single use items in the Start-up Area.
• We will use the lanyards from the last festival. Originally the lanyards are produced from SEAQUAL YARN, sourced from ocean plastic. SEAQUAL INITIATIVE collects ocean, beach, and river waste, recycling what they find. If you won't use the lanyard post-event, kindly return it to us at the entrance so we can use it again. You can also bring your own lanyard if wanted.
• We will use the beachflags and banners from the last festival.
• We will borrow all the plants that we use decoratively at the festival.
• Our team shirts are rented from re-shirt, who work with reversible print. We are able to save 175 000 liters of water and 700 kilos of carbon dioxide compared to buying new cotton t-shirts.
• You can fill your own bottle or the rented reusable cups with tap water or at our re-drink station.
• With a special event ticket we motivate people to travel by train.
• Our chairs are made from yogurt pots.

The external event agency ECENT GmbH, who focuses on implementing sustainability holistically into events, helped determine and implement these measures.

There are several ways you can contribute to a circular #CRF25. You can bring your own reusable water bottle, return your lanyard after the event, or choose to travel to the festival by bicycle or public transportation. Your engagement in these circular practices will even be scored, allowing you to assess your own circularity and see how you embody a circular visionary.

Different media partners, e.g. FOCUS Online Earth, will be present at the festival. We also have a photographer on site and you will get access to the pictures afterwards.

We greatly appreciate it if you share your impressions online and use the hashtag #CRF25. For promotional purposes we are also providing a Festival Mediakit for Start-ups and Corporates including a Style Guide as well as LinkedIn Post Captions.
