Important results from the project
The purpose of Cyclezyme´s participation in the REACH program was to accelerate the commercialization of our plastic recycling technology. Through intensive workshops, mentoring and presentations in Silicon Valley, we improved our sales strategy and business model. We made valuable contacts and gained insights into how American startups take bigger risks and reach the market faster through iterative testing. Our participation has strengthened our position and prepared us for future success both in Sweden, Europe and globally.
