About this event

Overview

NextCycle Michigan will be hosting its third Team Showcase on April 20th at the TechTown Detroit Industry Innovation Center. The Showcase will feature 15 teams pitching their projects as part of the Recycling Innovation Technology (RIT) and Foods, Liquids, & Organic Waste Solutions (FLOWS) Challenge Innovation Tracks. Each team has been split into three pitch groups: Food Waste Solutions, Advanced Materials & Design, and Recycling Processing Innovation. This event will bring teams together with an audience of business, government, non-profit, and investment professionals. Teams will compete for monetary awards while receiving recognition and networking opportunities.

Pitch Groups

Advanced Materials & Design: Inventors working on advanced, novel technologies and materials to accelerate the circular economy through tackling hard issues with creative solutions.

Recycling Processing Innovation: Entrepreneurs filling in critical gaps in Michigan's recycling supply chains by expanding collection, advancing processing capacity and supporting end market development.
