The Innovate2PREVENT Innovation Contest is now accepting applications.
The Innovate2PREVENT Innovation Contest, which aims to encourage and inspire creative minds worldwide to develop novel, inclusive, and data-driven circular business models, is open to African entrepreneurs.
The Innovate2PREVENT program, run by Yunus Environment Hub on behalf of the PREVENT Waste Alliance, enables forward-thinkers, innovators, and environmentalists to present and promote their creative solutions that support a circular economy in German Development Cooperation priority countries while keeping just transition principles in mind.
It is looking for three different kinds of solutions: those that help prolong product life, close resource loops, or maximize resource efficiency by reusing, refurbishing, or repairing electrical and electronic equipment; those that help phase out single-use plastics in the plastics value chain; and those that help create a circular economy by integrating digital solutions and interoperable data models throughout stages of the product life cycle and value chains.
The link is open for applications until July 5.
