Ending Plastic Waste in the Indo-Pacific

The Indo-Pacific Plastics Innovation Network (IPPIN) is designed to nurture ideas and empower ventures by bridging the gap between research, entrepreneurship, and investment to redefine the plastic lifecycle and create a circular economy.

The IPPIN Incubator Program is a free five-week online introductory program for researchers, startups and small to medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to redefine the plastic waste lifecycle.

It is designed to help teams understand the potential of their project or idea with customer discovery and market validation of plastic waste solutions, with support from mentors and advisors to improve communication skills, challenge assumptions and take research projects to the next level.

The program offers the opportunity to connect with entrepreneurs across the Indo-Pacific region, fostering cross-cultural networking and collaborations.

IPPIN is supported by the Australian Government and implemented by Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO in partnership with governments in Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.
