Circular Challenge-program: BlueCity's longstanding program in which young professionals and students are introduced to circular issues and come up with solutions, prototypes & business cases for business in multidisciplinary teams.

Startup Studio: BlueCity's newest program aimed at supporting (aspiring) entrepeneurs with developing early stage innovations by offering BlueCity Lab's research facilities, business coaching and access to our network. Over the course of 6-months, they go through ideation, prototyping and finding their first commercial partner for piloting.

Collaborations with educational institutions: such as Hogeschool Rotterdam and Erasmus University, which offer hands-on minors and specific entrepreneur support via Erasmus Enterprise. Together we organise diverse activities, including the yearly Talent for Transition-event. And did you know that the Hogeschool has a satellite space in BlueCity?

Inspiration & education: Every year, dozens of groups of school students visit BlueCity for tours and workshops on circular entrepreneurship.

Linking talent to companies: BlueCity connects professionals and students with companies embracing the circular economy or looking for circular solutions for their residual streams.
