This year, close to 400 solutions across 75 countries were submitted on UpLink for The Circulars Accelerator programme.

Last year’s cohort participated in over 120 advisory connections and 25 potential commercial opportunities were born out of the program.

Here are The Circulars Accelerator 2022 cohort members who are scaling their circular solutions and accelerating the global transition to a more sustainable world:
