How the iNet can help…

As a ‘one-stop-shop’ for environmental technology businesses in the South West, we provide a gateway to the expertise, funding and support services you need in order to succeed in one of the UK’s fastest growing and most competitive sectors.

Finding the time to review your business performance, identify what assistance you require and get in touch with the appropriate agencies is always a difficult ask. We do the hard work for you, providing a single point of contact and securing the most relevant business services on offer across regional and national organisations and networks.

Our dedicated advisors work directly with you or your company, identifying development opportunities and tailoring a bespoke support package that best fits your needs and aspirations. This might focus on new product development, access to funding, improved manufacturing processes, skills and training, intellectual property protection or establishing overseas trade.

We also provide networking and partnership building opportunities – facilitating collaborations between the enterprises and individuals we work with and bringing together representatives from environmental businesses, other industry sectors, academia and the public sector to discuss ideas and share best practice.

The Environmental Technologies iNet is led by the University of the West of England and backed by a consortium of regional partners (University of Exeter, Bristol City Council, Regen SW and University of Bristol). Together we are working to strengthen the South West’s reputation as a leader in green business and helping to secure ongoing growth in the low carbon economy.
