The Circular Economy Incubator offers Swiss startups a platform to develop solutions that drive the transition to a circular economy. With mentorship, workshops, and networking opportunities, the program supports entrepreneurs in building sustainable and impactful businesses.

The Circular Economy Incubator, an initiative by Circular Economy Transition (CET), empowers Swiss startups to develop innovative solutions that promote the shift towards a circular economy. Operating in cities like Basel, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne, Ticino, and Zurich, the program provides a comprehensive support system for early-stage ventures.

Program Highlights

  • Mentorship and Workshops: Participants receive personalized guidance from experienced mentors and attend workshops covering business development and circular economy principles.
  • Community and Networking: The incubator fosters connections with corporates, public institutions, and fellow entrepreneurs, facilitating collaboration and knowledge exchange.
  • Zero Equity and Fees Policy: The program is free of charge and does not take equity, ensuring that startups retain full ownership of their ideas.

By participating in the Circular Economy Incubator, entrepreneurs can refine their business models, develop minimum viable products (MVPs), and validate market potential, all within a supportive and resource-rich environment.
