Incubation Program
Applications Open
Attention, entrepreneurs! We are back with a new edition of the CIEC Incubation Program. Do you have an innovative idea related to the circular economy and want to turn it into a sustainable, profitable business? This program is for you!
At the Madrid Circular Economy Innovation Center (CIEC), we are committed to driving innovative projects that have a positive impact on our planet and on the business community. That is why we offer an intensive support and mentoring program for startups that want to reduce their negative impact on the environment and promote the transition toward a more circular economy.
What Are We Looking For?
We are looking for 12 entrepreneurs and startups with early-stage projects that have at least a prototype of their business model, that reduce their negative impact on the environment, and that are committed to a balanced use of resources. They will benefit from this program over a period of 4 months.
If your project meets these requirements, don’t miss the opportunity to become part of one of the leading innovation and entrepreneurship communities in the circular economy!
What Do We Offer?
In addition to becoming part of the CIEC community and ecosystem, selected participants have access to:
- Theoretical and practical training to design and validate your business model, as well as on topics related to the circular economy.
- One-on-one mentoring and coaching focused on developing your business and the strategy to follow.
- Access to experts in different fields, matched to the needs of your project.
- A physical workspace at the CIEC facilities, located in the Vicálvaro district.
- Access to the investor ecosystem and new opportunities for active networking.
- Media visibility and the chance to pitch at our Demo Day in front of leading experts, companies, and investors from the ecosystem.
And much more!
