Description

OPEN TO ALL

The very first Pitch Slam competition occured in 2022 and we’re thrilled to host it again. As states continue to strive for zero waste and climate resiliency, fresh ideas are needed and fostered by the industry. NextCycle is an accelerator program that helps champion these ideas and move them to the investment-ready stage. WasteExpo partners with NextCycle again to allow four of these future shaper teams to compete for additional funding sponsored by RRS and WasteExpo. Each team receives 5 minute pitch + 5 minute Q&A time with judges; the teams compete for overall prize money and a fan favorite prize. Potential investors are encouraged to attend as well. We’re vetting teams to compete now, so be sure to look for updates. Join us and be a part of this exciting event to help support innovative ideas that are getting us closer to a true circular economy.

• Birch Biosciences
