CLIC RECYCLE Joins the Bernard Magrez Start-Up Win Class of 2026

CLIC RECYCLE is proud to announce our selection into the Bernard Magrez Start-Up Win Class of 2026, the world's only incubator fully dedicated to innovation across the entire wine value chain—from vineyard practices to marketing and the tasting experience.

Now welcoming its 6th cohort, the Bernard Magrez Start-Up Win incubator has supported over 150 startups since its creation in 2021, establishing itself as a key catalyst for innovation in the wine sector. Following a competitive call for applications, the 2026 cohort—also known as the "Bordeaux – Primeurs" class—was selected by a jury of recognized experts, with support provided in partnership with Unitec.

The incubator is hosted across the 4 Grands Crus Classés châteaux—Château Pape Clément, Château La Tour Carnet, Château Fombrauge, and Clos Haut-Peyraguey—offering startups privileged access to an exceptional ecosystem of wine estates, industry professionals, investors, and technical experts.

The selected projects reflect the sector's most pressing challenges, including climate adaptation, sustainable agriculture, circular economy models, digitalization, and product innovation. Together, they showcase how innovation is responding concretely to the structural transformation of the wine industry.

Within this cohort, CLIC RECYCLE develops innovative bio-based materials designed to regenerate ecosystems and strengthen agricultural resilience. Our patented solutions, CLIC TERRA and CLIC SEA, are made from human hair, plant fibers, and hemp, and are engineered to restore soil fertility, reduce reliance on plastics, water, and chemical inputs, and support biodiversity. Combined with digital technologies such as IoT, AI, and data analytics, our platform supports winegrowers and agricultural stakeholders in transitioning toward regenerative and circular practices.

As part of Wine Paris 2026, the Bernard Magrez Start-Up Win incubator will officially present the Class of 2026 on Wednesday, February 11 at 10:00 a.m. on the WineTech Perspectives stage, where cohort entrepreneurs will pitch their solutions and engage with the global wine and innovation ecosystem.

CLIC RECYCLE is honored to join this community of innovators and looks forward to collaborating with partners committed to shaping a more sustainable, resilient, and future-ready wine industry.
