How to prepare B2B outreach at ENVICON 2026
-
Target municipal buyers and RIPOK managers. Procurement and investment decisions for municipal infrastructure are made by technical teams and local decision bodies. Identify council members and plant managers in advance.
-
Present local implementation case studies with performance data. Focus on operational results and compliance with recycling design requirements rather than generic claims.
-
Align materials with EU and Polish regulatory frameworks. Documentation on ROP and PPWR will be central to procurement conversations.
-
Schedule meetings during breaks and at the gala. The congress timetable provides formal and informal windows for meetings. Book slots in advance and propose precise discussion topics by email.
-
Offer financing structures and blended models. Panels on investment reveal interest in solutions that combine public funding, green loans and private partners. Provide clear examples of financing arrangements.
