PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS
NextCycle Michigan
NextCycle Michigan is a state initiative that provides a high quality, investable addition to traditional grant application approaches aimed at improving the recovery of materials and creating a circular economy within Michigan. Using a multi-track idea incubator, the program provides technical support, subject matter expert mentoring, and resources to move ideas toward implementation. Not to mention a funding mechanism that engages private, public, and non-profit partners, leveraging available state funds, to support projects and challenge tracks.
