Meet some of our Top Innovators
One of UpLink’s goals is to identify solutions with the most potential for scaling and impact. Over 180 of these solutions have been recognised as Top Innovators, an accolade that brings with it further opportunities for investment, publicity and mentorship. The platform facilitates connections to investors, entrepreneurs and experts, who can support and scale their activities.
“UpLink has connected us to dozens of corporate partners that are interested in catalysing the circular economy and provided us with support and advice to scale bigger, faster and stronger”
