About Pollutec and the Entretiens Jacques Cartier

In 2025, two major international events will stand out for their commitment to ecological and societal transition: Pollutec and the Entretiens Jacques Cartier (EJC).

Held for over 46 years, Pollutec is the leading trade show for environmental solutions. With 11 exhibition sectors, more than 20 conference spaces, and strong international participation (21% international exhibitors, 110 countries represented in 2023), it offers a unique platform to discover the latest innovations, build partnerships, and take part in targeted business meetings through the Green Days.

From October 6 to 8, 2025, the Entretiens Jacques Cartier will bring together over 4,000 participants and 500 speakers across Lyon, Grenoble, Clermont-Ferrand, and Saint-Étienne. Under the theme “Resilience and Transformations,” the event will foster interdisciplinary exchanges between researchers, entrepreneurs, institutions, and public sector leaders from Quebec, French-speaking Canada, and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

Conferences, workshops, roundtables, and networking opportunities will provide space to explore key contemporary issues: clean technologies, energy transition, artificial intelligence, culture, and society.

Together, Pollutec and the EJC serve as complementary platforms where innovative solutions for a changing world are imagined, tested, and built.
