Supporting founders building viable, sustainability-led ventures.
Eco-Entrepreneurship
We help entrepreneurs turn environmental ideas into viable solutions, through technical mentoring, venture support, and connections to markets, investors, and green finance.
Ekonnect serves as India’s Hub for SEED, a global partnership founded at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg by UNEP, UNDP, and IUCN, for action on sustainable development and the green economy. Through an MoU with SEED, we’ve set up a collaboration framework to promote social and environmental entrepreneurship in India, screening and selecting green entrepreneurs, mentoring them from early ideation through investment readiness, and connecting them to SEED’s international network and resources.
We also serve as India Hub for the CE Catalyst programme, managed by Adelphi, Germany, connecting Indian circular economy enterprises to international mentors, markets, and investors. As part of this, we offer the CEC Enterprise Blueprint, a structured toolkit spanning 7 topic areas and 46 tools, covering circular value creation, operations, relationships, marketing, strategy, impact, financials, and funding, complete with supporting templates, worksheets, and step-by-step guidance.
