let's repost CALL FOR APPLICATIONS – Circular Innovation Fund Accelerator Program 🌿 Are you a startup, researcher, or entrepreneur active in of “Biobased alternatives for petrochemical feedstocks” and “Supply chain #circularity”? The Circular Innovation Fund is launching its second accelerator program aiming to contribute to the development of early-stage innovative circular technologies in the fields of “Biobased alternatives for petrochemical feedstocks” and “Supply chain circularity”. What is the Circular Innovation Fund? The Circular Innovation Fund is an €111 million euros #impact investment fund launched in 2020. L'Oréal Groupe is the anchor investor with a 50 million euros commitment. The fund is co-managed by Cycle Capital and #Demeter. It is a fund solely dedicated to the acceleration of the circular economy. What is the aim of the Accelerator Program? To select a cohort of 5 companies, which will receive strong support in technology and product validation, #circular business model strategy and talent attraction during a 6-month program. The Circular Innovation Fund will also invest €100,000 in the selected compagnies.

‎️🔥 Nearly half of carbon emissions come from how we produce and consume goods‎️️🔥‎️The good news is, we are at a circularity tipping point. How should investors approach the circular economy investment opportunity? Our partners at Nordic Innovation and Venture Challenge are on stage now at Cleantech Capital Day helping us dive into challenge 🚀 

Thinking of applying to take part in the Circular Impact Accelerator 2024 program? Have a listen to one of our 2023 Program Graduates Melanie Mattiuzzo of TERRESA as she shares her experience of the program and the circular economy social enterprise that she is working on to reduce textile waste. https://lnkd.in/giEbWwn4 Applications for the Circular Impact Accelerator Program close Tuesday 16th April - for all the details and to apply head to https://lnkd.in/gENdYBv6 #circulareconomy #accelerator #changemakers

Less than a week to go before the Icos Capital Accelerating Stability Summit! I'll be part of panel discussions around the major opportunities, challenges and needs within the biotech. If you're there and would like to talk about either of the following.... ✅ Cost-effective, high performing formulations and applications using sustainable biosurfactants ✅ Sugar/oil side streams from your processes that would otherwise go to waste. ...come find me! #icosCapital #AcceleratingSustainability #Sustainability #biosurfactant #biochemical #greenchemistry #greenerformulations

#Waste reduction isn't just about recycling - it starts with understanding the materials we use! Do you think the world needs more data on material flows, product lifecycles, and waste generation? Better data can inform smarter decisions, optimize recycling processes, and create a more circular economy. Share your thoughts and solutions! #Sustainability #CircularityEconomy #Innovation

Absolutely, data is a powerful tool in combatting waste. Here are a couple of solutions that leverage data to reduce waste: * **Smart Waste Management:** - Sensors on bins can track fill levels, allowing for optimized collection routes. This reduces fuel consumption and unnecessary truck trips. - Data from these sensors can also identify areas that generate high volumes of waste, prompting investigation into the cause and potential solutions. * **Data-driven Supply Chains:** - Companies can analyze data to understand where materials are lost or wasted throughout the production process. - This can help identify inefficiencies and implement practices to minimize waste, such as just-in-time ordering or improved packaging. - In agriculture, for instance, data can be used to optimize crop yields and predict weather patterns, leading to less food spoilage. These are just a few examples, and the potential applications of data in waste reduction are constantly evolving. As data collection and analysis become more sophisticated, we can expect even more innovative solutions to emerge.

The Traceability for Circularity conducted by the WEF is a step to identify objects and activities that form an ecosystem, in this case the life cycle of the goods we consume. (See this: https://lnkd.in/gh9QV9ij) Knowledge about the interconnection between objects and activities enables us to think about potential intervention steps that can be taken. At MiniBrain, we create the Thinking Machine Framework (TMF), an AI engine that works based on cause and effect chains. When integrated into your ecosystem, TMF can "read" the dynamics that occur within it and calculate the necessary intervention steps. Furthermore, TMF can extend beyond the provided training by "learning" various alternative cause and effect sequences. In the context of "Traceability for Circularity," the Thinking Machine Framework, or TMF, can play a significant role. It has the capacity to identify patterns of cause-and-effect chains that contribute to the reduction of waste. This is achieved through its ability to "learn" and understand the dynamics within your ecosystem. Beyond initial training, TMF can explore alternative cause-and-effect chains, thereby providing innovative solutions for waste reduction. #ai #MiniBrain #traceability #circulareconomy #innovation

#acceleratingsustainability with industry biotech innovations for chemical industry has become a big theme. But, who is actually delivering market competitive solutions and how to clients react to it ? Just some of the issues we will be discussing in #icossummit in Copenhagen in November. If you are corporate or startup and would like to join, please send me a message. We would love to get to you engaged in this discussion.

To reduce waste, the world needs more #data on the materials we use. Do you have a solution? UpLink and Accenture are launching the Traceability for Circularity Challenge.
