ORKIDS Incubator hosted the first edition of CycleBiz – Grow Your Bike Business on Saturday, August 8, 2026. The new recurring initiative is dedicated to current and aspiring entrepreneurs working in the cycling industry.
The initiative was launched after ORKIDS identified 9 projects related to the cycling sector among its incubated businesses. Despite the diversity of these projects, many of them face different challenges when it comes to developing their activities and growing their businesses.
The first edition brought together 3 entrepreneurs from these 9 projects, providing an opportunity to introduce their businesses, exchange experiences, and discuss several important challenges and issues related to business development in the cycling sector.
The participating entrepreneurs welcomed the initiative and highlighted the importance of the meeting, considering that bringing bike entrepreneurs together in the same space creates valuable opportunities to share experiences and identify common solutions. Several entrepreneurs who were unable to attend also expressed their regret at missing the first session and confirmed their intention to participate in the next edition.
One of the key outcomes of the meeting was the agreement to work towards organizing joint activities and services among the participating businesses, as well as seeking opportunities to participate collectively in local and national events. This approach aims to strengthen their visibility, create new business opportunities, and encourage partnerships and collaboration between bike businesses.
Through CycleBiz, ORKIDS aims to transform individual cycling projects into a connected and collaborative business community that shares experiences, opportunities, and resources while working together to develop the cycling market and economy.
CycleBiz will continue to take place every other Saturday morning, providing a regular space for discussion, coaching, networking, problem-solving, and, above all, growing businesses and increasing revenue around the bicycle industry.
