The Circular Economy Catalyst unlocks the transformative potential of circular economy entrepreneurship to foster economies that are restorative and regenerative by design.

By supporting circular economy enterprises through targeted incubation and acceleration programmes, the Circular Economy Catalyst helps entrepreneurs to transform their visions and ideas into profitable and sustainable circular economy businesses.

The programme offers a comprehensive support package including tailored, interactive capacity building (business development support) based on co-creation and design thinking methodologies, accompanied by financial and technical support, opportunities for networking and partnership building, as well as profiling on a regional, national and international level.

Working with intermediaries and financers to integrate the needs of circular enterprises into support portfolios and financial instruments, the programme supports the development of conducive entrepreneurial environments.

adelphi research and the IKEA Foundation, in collaboration with SEED, are working together to unlock the potential of circular economy entrepreneurship to design sustainable businesses and partnerships that foster inclusive and regenerative economies in India and Kenya.
