Are you building circular consumer products, and looking for funding?

Amsterdam Circular is a circular accelerator program for startups and scaleups. We support founders with building circular value chains and raising funding through strategic partnerships with chain financing.

Amsterdam Circular is a pioneering circular value chain accelerator – what we call the Circulator. The program is equity free and cost free thanks to contributions from the City of Amsterdam, AMS Institute, and Invest-NL. Our jury will select 10 ventures on 10 March 2026.

You can find out more about the last edition on the built environment in the Circulator Guide. This year's focus is on consumer products. Your company does not need to be based in Amsterdam, however, are seeking circular impact in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Region.

Applications close on Friday 6 February 2026 at midnight.
