Over the last 27 years we have built very good links with industry, government and the public sector. We run a number of cleantech networks including the “Eco-Innovation Cluster Partnership (EcoCluP)” which connects 3,500 eco-innovative and cleantech businesses across Europe. As part of this network, we can assist businesses wanting to enter new European or International markets. We also work closely with a number of other complimentary organisations including the European Commission (DG Enterprise & Industry & Eco Innovation Platform), local universities, UK Trade & Investment and the Enterprise Europe Network.
