European Commissioner for Environment, Water Resilience and a Competitive Circular Economy

On May 4, 2026, the TUM Speakers Series welcomed Jessika Roswall, European Commissioner for Environment, Water Resilience and a Competitive Circular Economy to the Immatrikulationshalle on TUM Main Campus in Munich.

As part of the EU Week at TUM, Jessika Roswall shared insights about sustainability becoming a competitive advantage for the EU through her talk titled “Circular by Design: How the EU is Turning Environmental Policy into Competitive Advantage”, followed by an open round of Q&A.

Jessika Roswall has been serving as EU Commissioner since December 2024. A Swedish politician and former Minister for EU Affairs (2022–2024), she plays a key role in advancing the EU’s Circular Economy Act, sustainable product policies, the European Water Resilience Strategy, and the zero-pollution ambition. Her work focuses on turning environmental regulation into a driver of competitiveness and innovation across Europe. She also spoke about what role regulation, innovation and the next generation play in this transformation.
