On October 21st, our CIRCULAZE jury, partners, and start-ups came together for an evening of circular innovation and networking.

Sustainable Through
Circular Economy

Shortages of raw materials, supply chain bottlenecks, global dependencies, and climate change are forcing a rethink. Finding solutions NOW is crucial for the future viability of companies. There is no NET ZERO without the Circular Economy.

AWARENESS

The Circular Economy is the answer to the pressing challenges of today. But this requires a change of mindset NOW – not only among companies and political decision makers, also in society. With CIRCULAZE, we aim to make the topic and players more visible and tangible, create understanding and relevance, and to spark enthusiasm for it.

KNOWLEDGE

Within the start-up ecosystem, many teams are currently working on innovative solutions. However, they are not yet well-known by relevant companies. We want to change that. With our formats and our network, we bundle and organize the know-how through high-quality content and the exchange of experiences.

CONNECTION

Sustainable change can only succeed if the key players join forces. That is why CIRCULAZE brings together the pioneers of sustainable business management, experts, and forward thinkers with the most relevant start- and scale-ups in the field of the Circular Economy to exchange ideas, inspire, and learn from each other.

ACTIVATION

The overarching goal of all our activities is to initiate real change and allow more projects to take off; to enable start-ups and corporates, and corporates among themselves and across industries, to break new ground and find intelligent solutions in the spirit of the Circular Economy.

Our Activities

365 DAYS

Through year-round communication, shared offerings, and our event formats, we create sustainable points of contact within the topic of the Circular Economy. We offer opportunities to exchange, inspire, and learn from each other.

Circular Economy:
Can’t Do It Alone.

The Jury

We have brought together a jury of renowned experts to compile a qualified long-list of start-ups from the international Circular Economy environment (approx. 150 start-ups in total) on the basis of our 7 categories. With a special evaluation system, the jury determines the top 3 start-ups in each category.
