ClimAccelerator call for applications
Description
A circular entrepreneur is someone who creates value by reducing waste, repurposing materials, and designing sustainable solutions that keep resources in use for longer. Instead of the traditional "take-make-dispose" model, circular businesses rethink how products and materials can be reused, refurbished, or regenerated—ensuring economic growth without harming the planet.
Are you an entrepreneur with an upstream innovation? Upstream innovation aims to prevent waste at its source by designing for sustainability and reducing material flows from the outset. Upstream innovation includes business models that prioritise product life extension, reuse, and refill systems, or offering products as services. If this sounds like your business, don’t miss the opportunity to scale your impact and connect with peers and experts through the Circular Economy ClimAccelerator Programme Nairobi!
