Circular Impact Accelerator 2026 Application Form

The Circular Impact Accelerator is a free 6-week accelerator for South Australians with circular economy enterprise ideas ready to test and refine, delivered by Collab4Good, in partnership with Green Industries SA, and supported by the Business for Good Network, StartSomeGood and Rawtec.

You will learn the fundamentals of circular economy and social enterprise business model design, whilst also gaining access to new networks, potential customers, collaborators and funders to bring your venture to life.

The Program includes workshops* with guest speakers, weekly coaching calls with experienced social entrepreneurs, group co-working and problem solving sessions, access to the Business for Good Network platform for peer learning and support, connections to mentors and industry experts, and the opportunity to pitch for customers and investment at our popular live pitch night.

We value diverse ideas and perspectives

We know that some of the most powerful circular solutions come from diverse lived experience, perspectives and ways of knowing. We welcome applications from people and communities who are often excluded from traditional accelerator programs - including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander innovators, people with diverse abilities, and founders from across regional and rural South Australia. We’re committed to making participation accessible and comfortable for you.
