2026 WPWMA Circular Economy Innovation Competition — Live Pitch Event
Join us for the live pitch finale of the 2026 Circular Economy Innovation Competition.
On Wednesday, May 13th from 12–3 PM at the Roseville Venture Lab, innovators, researchers, and entrepreneurs will compete for $20,000 in prizes and in-kind services — presenting solutions built around WPWMA's real waste stream challenges: material recovery, cost reduction, leachate treatment, and reducing dependence on volatile commodity markets.
These are people already in the work. Come see what they've built.
Free to attend. Open to the public.
Presented by the Western Placer Waste Management Authority and the Carlsen Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Sacramento State.
