BUSINESS CIRCULAR INNOVATON CHALLENGE
Calling for innovative solutions to address waste challenges in Southern Africa through circular principles.
If you are based in Southern Africa (Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, Zimbabwe) and have developed an innovative solution that meets the definition of circularity, and have at least a prototype ready for testing, we encourage you to make use of this opportunity to grow and develop your network and your business.
The Circular Innovation Challenge 2024 seeks to promote the circular economy, thus reducing resource consumption, as well as waste and pollution generation, through an innovative approach. At the same time, the challenge aims to promote social inclusion, create jobs, and enhance wellbeing by designing systems that benefit people and the planet.
We are seeking entries of products, technologies and/or services which encourage the move from a linear to a circular economy. Our vision is a future in which everyday items such as textiles and plastics, food production and construction materials, and byproducts of living such as waste and blackwater, are produced, consumed, and/or managed in a circular and regenerative manner. Our vision, thus, is a world in which resources are conserved, waste is minimised, and ecosystems are preserved, leading to a thriving and sustainable society.
