CATALYST 2026: Global Eco-Artisan, Waste-to-Wealth and DPP Summit

CATALYST 2026 is the flagship event of BangoPure's international programme and the largest dedicated circular economy tradeshow in the United Kingdom. Over six days in Barnsley's Metrodome and Digital Media Centre, more than one thousand delegates from fifty-four countries converge for the most ambitious meeting of African enterprise talent, international corporate buyers, impact investors, and government trade bodies assembled under a single roof for the purpose of building commercially real, technologically verified, and institutionally endorsed supply chains that connect African production with global demand.

This is not a conference about sustainability. It is a commercial event at which verified products meet qualified buyers, investment-ready enterprises meet capital-ready funds, and skilled artisans receive the ISO 59000-aligned vocational credentials that transform them from informal producers into certified international suppliers. Every product exhibited carries a BangoPure Digital Product Passport. Every artisan has undergone AI material verification. Every transaction is blockchain-anchored. The result is a tradeshow floor where corporate procurement departments can source with confidence and document their Scope 3 supply chain with verified, auditable evidence.
