Driving the Circular Economy: Cyculus at Retech Days Europe 2025

Cyculus at Retech Days Europe

Berlin, May 21–22: A pivotal moment for automation in device processing

Cyculus proudly took part in Retech Days Europe 2025, joining industry leaders in Berlin to champion the future of the circular economy through automation, innovation, and collaboration. The event brought together top voices in refurbishment, repair, and resale, offering a dynamic stage for exchange, insight, and real progress.

At the heart of the event, our CEO and co-founder, Fergal Donovan, delivered a workshop highlighting the transformative power of AI and robotics in the mobile device lifecycle. With growing pressure on sustainability and rising volumes of used electronics, Fergal laid out the case for Device Processing as a Service (DPaaS), powered by Apkudo, as a scalable and accessible solution for Europe’s fragmented market.

“At Cyculus, we believe automation should be accessible to everyone—not just the big players. Our goal is to democratise high-precision grading and processing, giving smaller businesses the tools they need to thrive in the circular economy,” said Fergal Donovan, CEO of Cyculus Services GmbH.

What we covered in our workshop:

  • Why automation is critical in a market still reliant on manual grading
  • How AI-driven systems eliminate subjectivity and boost resale value
  • The nine-stage Cyculus process—from receiving to secure data clearing
  • Real-world benefits for traders, insurers, operators, and resellers
  • Our offer: free testing for the first 250 units and 20% off for high-volume batches until the end of June

Throughout the two-day event, we engaged in vital conversations with sustainability pioneers, circular economy experts, and key decision-makers in mobile tech. The interest in automation was clear, and we’re excited to continue building relationships that drive forward-thinking solutions for Europe’s secondary market.

🙏 A huge thank you to the Retech Days organisers and the team at Dataxis for creating such a valuable forum and platform for progress in the repair, refurbishment, and resale ecosystem. We were honoured to be part of it.

👋 See you all next year!
