BEARTH: Kick-off of the new programme for circular industrial projects
- Industry, Production circulaire, Sustainable economy
Do you have an idea for a project in circular production or services? Ready to take the leap? Join us on 12 November at hub.brussels for the official launch of BEARTH, our brand-new incubator designed for entrepreneurs who want to (re)imagine the future of urban production! What to expect: an inspiring presentation of the BEARTH programme, an exclusive keynote by Bruno Wattenbergh, testimonials from CEOs committed to the circular economy, and an evening of networking to spark your ideas… and your motivation to get started.
About
BEARTH is the latest incubator by hub.brussels, dedicated to innovative projects in circular production and related services. It supports up to 12 entrepreneurs over 6 months, from ideation to prototyping, through a structured path that covers every stage of business creation.
The incubator was born from a clear observation: industrial production now accounts for just 2.4% of employment in Brussels (source: “Vision for urban industry” (FR) by our circlemade cluster). Yet urban industry – when circular, local and small-scale – is a driver of innovation, applied research and strategic relocation.
BEARTH aims to reverse this trend by nurturing ambitious projects led by committed entrepreneurs who are ready to rethink how we produce and consume.
This event is for:
Anyone with a (project or idea for a) circular production or support service
Aspiring entrepreneurs curious about small-scale industrialisation
Enthusiasts of circular economy and sustainable innovation
