Finance available for sustainable SMEs

The Low Carbon Innovation Fund is a £30m venture capital fund supported by the European Regional Development Fund and the private sector. The fund makes equity investments into SMEs within the East of England that are developing new and innovative products, processes or services in an environmentally sensitive manner. For example, an architectural firm that wishes to expand their sustainable design offering, or manufacturers of eco-tech building products, would be eligible.

The fund is operated by the Adapt Low Carbon Group. Please visit www.adaptlowcarbongroup.co.uk for further details, or for an informal discussion call Will Harvey on 01603 597342 or email w.harvey@uea.ac.uk.
