Scottish Enterprise has launched a low carbon built environment (LCBE) expert service to support individuals and organisations with products that will help Scotland deliver on its low and zero carbon agenda.
Using the BBC Dragons’ Den model, Scottish companies will submit their proposals for scrutiny. LCBE experts will interrogate the feasibility and development of the proposal on behalf of Scottish Enterprise for acceleration to market.
BRE will help deliver the service and bring with them expertise from the BRE Centre of Excellence at Strathclyde University and the Institute for Sustainable Construction at Edinburgh Napier University. The project will run for three years and aim to help more than 150 companies.
Laura Birrell, associate director BRE Scotland said: ” Our aim is to gain maximum opportunity for organisations operating within the Scottish Enterprise region. Within our team we have the necessary expertise to not only identify key projects for investment, but to enable and stimulate cross sector collaboration in delivery of low carbon solutions to the market.”
A series of roadshows on the service will kick-off in October. To register interest in the first event or to find out more, contact Laura Birrell at email: birrelll@bre.co.uk.
