Young, agile startup companies are the guarantee for new ideas and innovations. The challenges are enormous in a prosperous and growing world. Young companies want to build up their business. They need cooperation and capital. Large established companies and international investors are looking for very good ideas that need to be brought to fruition.

The 18^th Annual GPCA Forum aims to promote the exchange between investors, startups, and experienced companies. With the 1^st GPCA Startup Nexus, there is now the right networking platform for this. On this stage, the best startups in the fields of Circular Economy and Climate Action, selected by the GPCA Expert Panel, will present their groundbreaking and pioneering ideas.

On 3-4 December 2024, 10 startups (regional and international) will present in Shark Tank-style presentations. This will be followed by a short question and answer session. There will also be the opportunity to have confidential discussions in separate rooms. In this way, the GPCA Startup Nexus promotes business ideas and products for the markets and demands of tomorrow.
