What is the Circular Impact Accelerator?

The Circular Impact Accelerator is a free, 6-week program supporting South Australians to test, refine and validate circular economy enterprise ideas.

It’s designed for people who want to work out whether their idea has legs - through practical learning, coaching, and real-world testing.

The program includes:

• 4 mandatory in-person workshops with masterclasses and guest speakers

• An industry expert presentation focused on circular economy and business

• Weekly coaching calls with experienced social entrepreneurs

• Group co-working and problem-solving sessions

• Access to mentors across circular economy and social enterprise

• Access to the Business for Good Network platform for peer learning and support

• A chance to pitch for potential customers and business support funding at our live pitch night

This session is for individuals or teams who:

• Are based in South Australia

• Have an idea that addresses a circular economy challenge

• Have already taken some steps to explore their idea

• Are curious about whether an accelerator is the right next step

• Want to understand the time commitment and expectations before applying

Teams are preferred (minimum two people). If you’re a solo founder, this could include a friend, family member or support person willing to check in with you weekly.

Our approach

We know that some of the most powerful circular solutions come from diverse lived experience, perspectives and ways of knowing.

We value and encourage participation from people and communities who are often excluded from traditional accelerator programs, and we’re committed to creating a supportive and inclusive environment. We’ll do our best to make both the info session and the accelerator accessible and comfortable for all participants.

• Be clear on eligibility, time commitment and next steps
