We are proud to announce that the HEPHAESTUS project was featured at EUIndTech 2025, the European Union's flagship conference on industrial technologies, held in Kraków, Poland, from 2–4 June 2025, under the the Polish Presidency of the Council of the EU.

EUIndTech 2025 brought together a diverse community of stakeholders, ranging from industry leaders, researchers, and innovators to policymakers and NGOs, to discuss cutting-edge industrial technologies, future trends, and sustainable development pathways.

As part of the event, RINA represented the HEPHAESTUS project at an exhibition stand with a dedicated roll-up poster, offering direct engagement with participants. The project coordinator Enrico Salvatore presented HEPHAESTUS during Panel Session IV: Innovation in Waste Recycling for Sustainable Development, highlighting the project’s key goals and progress to date.

This high-level platform provided an excellent opportunity to showcase HEPHAESTUS’ contribution to innovative and sustainable waste recycling technologies and exchange knowledge with peers and policymakers across Europe. Moreover, this was a chance to strengthen visibility among potential collaborators, stakeholders, and funding bodies and support the EU’s broader vision of a twin green and digital transition, with a focus on advanced materials, circular economy solutions, and resource efficiency. 

We are honored to have been part of such a significant event and to contribute to shaping the future of sustainable industry in Europe.
