The first edition of our Climate Action Accelerator: Fashion Forward, was all about reimagining the future of fashion:
a future where fashion is regenerative, circular, and waste-free. A future where innovation and sustainability go hand in hand.
Over the course of three months we supported five groundbreaking startups rethinking materials, consumption, and supply chains in order to build a more circular and sustainable industry.
👕 Mimbiosis – Transforming textile waste into mycelium-based biomaterials
🔄 ContainerGrid – Enabling circular reverse logistics for sustainable sourcing
🌿 Sylia – Creating mycelium-based materials for fashion & interiors
👙 Zodiaque – Designing circular swimwear & underwear from natural and deadstock fabrics
🌍 DPP – Empowering SMEs with a Digital Product Passport for transparent, sustainable, and compliant supply chains
No, the three-month accelerator is free of charge for participating teams, enabling you to pilot your start-up within a very short period of time and deepen your entrepreneurial skills.
No, the programme is also equity free.
We follow a two-stage selection process:
Five to six teams will be recruited for each programme cohort. We will run 5 cohorts with a focus on different topics between 2025 and 2027.
2025:
Cohort 1: February – April
Cohort 2: September – November
2026
Cohort 3: February – April
Cohort 4: September – November
2027
Cohort 5: March – May
We aim for gender parity among founders and create structures that also take into account the realities of life for female and non-binary founders. We actively encourage FLINTA* individuals to apply and give special consideration to people from the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities as well as people with disabilities.
The customised, three-month accelerator is a hybrid programme, organised into sprints.
At the beginning of the programme, we conduct an individual skills assessment and needs analysis for each team using a business diagnostic sheet. Based on this, an individual development plan (roadmap) is drawn up with each team as plan for the accelerator programme and beyond.
