In order to facilitate the collaboration between large companies and young start-ups, Paris&Co and partners, between which two ACR+ members Paris and CITEO, has launched a second call for the Circular Economy Incubator.
As in 2017, the main objective of this program is to boost collaboration between start-ups and corporates in order to:
- Encourage the implementation of experimentations of new products and services
- Accelerate the development of young companies that are trying to find new models for a more resource-efficient and sustainable economy
The themes of the call for applications cover several dimensions of circular economy: sustainable procurement, ecodesign, territorial ecology, economy of functionality, responsible consumption, extending the useful life of goods as well as waste management.
The selected start-ups will join the circular economy incubator for a period of one to two years. They will benefit from individual coaching, collective workshops, special offers for start-ups, and interactions with other groups.
