Global Start-up Service

Supporting Sustainable Chemistry Innovators

Start-ups are a unique source of knowledge and innovation that can contribute to a more sustainable future. In order to help innovators related to Sustainable Chemistry succeed in different stages of development, the ISC3 Innovation Hub launched the Global Start-up Service (GSS), the world’s first program providing holistic support to Sustainable Chemistry innovators globally.

Unique support for chemistry-related start-ups

The Service targets entrepreneurs along the entire innovation chain: ideators, early-stage innovators and advanced entrepreneurs who have the potential to solve urgent challenges of sustainable and inclusive development. It addresses four key aspects:

Sustainability: We help start-ups to evaluate and improve their impact on present and future generations by promoting and fostering the importance of sustainability across all startup stages.
Chemistry: We address exclusively chemistry-related start-ups, such as waste management, sustainable energy, water management, pesticides, consumer industry, etc.
Global Reach: We create an enabling environment on a global basis allowing start-ups to connect to an international network of entrepreneurs, stakeholders and investors.
Tailored Support: We provide tailored support based on start-up needs via various formats, such as our yearly Innovation Challenge, our workshops, events, and much more.

Being a Global Start-up Service Member allows you to:

Access the ISC3 Online Library on Sustainable Chemistry matters, including articles on entrepreneurship, Sustainable Chemistry and potentially relevant market information for you, as well as our on-demand ISC3 workshop presentations and recordings on Sustainable Chemistry entrepreneurship topics
Facilitation of contacts between you and your start-up and international experts and advisors
Networking and matchmaking services across sectors and value chains: P2P, B2B, B2C
