Apply now for our PREVENT AI4Circular Accelerator Programme!

How can data and Artificial Intelligence accelerate the transition to a circular economy?

To explore this question, we are launching the AI4Circular Accelerator Programme, which is open to PREVENT members and organisations interested in becoming members.

 

Through this new programme, we will support PREVENT members in developing innovative circular approaches and business models using data and AI, while encouraging collaboration and experimentation across the network.

 

The programme is being implemented by MaibornWolff and is structured around three complementary cohorts:

  • Package 1: AI Training (focusing on building basic skills and initial ideas);
  • Package 2: AI & Data Accelerator (focusing on advancing a specific use case); and
  • Package 3: Data Cooperation (focusing on a joint data use case with partners).

 

Find out more about the programme and cohorts at: https://prevent-waste.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/PREVENT-AI4CE_Call-for-Interest.pdf

 

Fill in this application survey until 20 February to help us understand where your organisation currently stands and how we can best support you, as the content will be adapted to participants’ needs. Completing it will take approximately 10–15 minutes.
