Learn, connect, repair: exploring how we build a stronger repair ecosystem across Ireland.

The Repair Summit brings together repair cafés, community groups, makers, policy advocates, circular economy organisations, and anyone interested in the future of repair in Ireland.

This event will explore how we strengthen and grow repair infrastructure, support local repair activity, and build stronger connections across communities.

A particular focus of the day will be on working across the island of Ireland, examining how collaboration north and south of the border can help develop a stronger repair ecosystem, share knowledge, and support long-term sustainability.

Topics will include:

How to start and run a Repair Café

Building sustainable repair networks and communities

Developing repair skills and knowledge sharing

Strengthening Ireland’s repair ecosystem

Cross-border collaboration and learning

Circular economy and community repair initiatives

Invited speakers include:

Whether you are already involved in repair activity or are just getting started, The Repair Summit aims to create space to learn, connect, and help shape the future of repair in Ireland.
