🚀 Presenting the Circular Economy Startup Landscape 2024! 🌍 Yesterday CIRCULAR REPUBLIC, in collaboration with TechFounders, TUM Venture Labs, Technical University of Munich, and better ventures, revealed this year's edition of the Circular Economy Startup Landscape in the launch event with the Landeshauptstadt München at the Munich Urban Colab ♻🚀 Special thanks to our panelists Dr. Tim Breker and Tina Dreimann for your valuable insights 💡 The report sheds light on the growing number of circular start-ups in Germany, with 327 start-ups dedicated to circular solutions. Key insights from the report include 👇 📈 Investments in strategies aimed at closing sustainability loops are on the rise, signalling a promising trend for circular ventures. 🔨 Despite progress, a notable funding gap persists in lifespan-extending models - a sector expected to grow with the upcoming EU "Right to Repair" legislation. 🏔 Munich is highlighted as a significant center for circular innovation, thanks to its collaborative ecosystem of corporations, policymakers, and academic institutions.

The commitment to driving positive change and embracing the principles of a Circular Economy is truly inspiring and it's evident that the momentum towards a more circular future is stronger than ever. We're proud to be at the forefront of this movement. What's next? We will now embark on the challenging journey of meticulously reviewing the submissions before announcing the final startups of batch 5 at the end of the month. The program then begins with a virtual phase on September 4, before up to two representatives from each startup will make their way to Circular Valley in person for three weeks in November. The highlight will be DemoDay held during the second annual Circular Valley Forum on November 16th. Stay tuned for updates as we gear up for an extraordinary Batch 5! #circularvalley #circulareconomy #circularity #gigaimpact #sustainability #environment #homeofcirculareconomy #accelerator #startup #startuphelp #innovation #kreislaufwirtschaft #heimatderkreislaufwirtschaft #nachhaltigkeit #klimaschutz #nrw

Get to know the latest crop of Carbon13 startups when they pitch next week 👇

🥁Active Giving has been selected to take part of the GREENTECH FESTIVAL 𝐆𝐓𝐅 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭-𝐮𝐩 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝 2024! The GTF represents a great platform for Active Giving to promote the topic of #sustainablesports and to raise awareness around the importance of more #physicalmovement in society. Not only because the GTF was created by former Formula 1 World Champion Nico Rosberg, a great athlete and eco-preneur, moreover ➡ because the physical 𝐢𝐧-activity crisis is as important (even more important?!) as the current climate crisis. Thus we need to address theses crisis together with major industries and their leaders. Indeed without a healthy and active population, there can not be real #sustainability 💚 Taking place in Berlin, May 15-17, this is also quite special for us since that is where everything started for Active Giving. I am looking forward to connect and discover the other start-ups selected from innovative green technology solutions across the thematic areas Energy & Water, Mobility & Transportation, Hydrogen, Art & Culture, Food & Living, Materials, AI, Circularity, ESG & HR and Green Building! #greentechfestival2024 #greenbusiness #gtf2024 #startup #sustainability #greensolutions #activegiving
