Forging Europe's Circular Value Chain for Semiconductors
European Circular Electronics Kickstart Acceleration Program (ECEK)
The European Circular Electronics Kickstart Acceleration Program (ECEK) brings together a new generation of startups developing breakthrough solutions for the electronics and semiconductor industries.
Running from May to November 2026 as part of the EVEN CLOSER project, the programme supports startups working across circular electronics, critical raw materials recovery, advanced recycling, sustainable manufacturing and semiconductor innovation.
Through tailored mentoring, business development, investment readiness, funding support, strategic partnerships and opportunities to pilot their technologies, ECEK is helping founders turn promising innovation into scalable solutions with the potential to strengthen Europe’s circular electronics value chain.
