NextCycle Michigan is a multi-track idea incubator that provides technical support and subject matter expert mentoring to move ideas toward implementation. The program includes six core Innovation Challenge tracks related to Michigan’s recycled materials supply chain and end markets. This new initiative is positioned to be the catalyst of entrepreneurial spirit and public-private collaboration that will drive Michigan toward its 45% recycling goal. This program is focused on developing a circular economy, creating a robust recycled materials supply chain, and supporting recycled-content manufacturers in Michigan.
