The Decarbonisation Effect: Powering the future growth of the South West
Friday 24th of May | 8:00 - 16:15 | Burges Salmon, One Gass Wharf, BS2 0ZX
We are delighted to announce, due to additional funding for the event attendence is now free. Demand is likely to be high and the event is restricted by capacity, please book early to avoid disapointment.
The event will explore the opportunity to power the South-West economy on the back of decarbonisation of the region. It will cover:
- the central pillars of an economic development ‘greenprint’ to enable the region’s economy to take full advantage of decarbonisation;
- financing the region’s decarbonisation revolution;
- establishing the South-West as the hot bed for environmental technology innovations;
- the primary policies needed to support the growth of a low carbon economy in the region;
- removing the barriers that have the potential to stand in the way of a high performing decarbonisation-powered economy so that future growth opportunities can be maximised;
- the skills and local supply chains that need to be established to support the progress of decarbonisation and therefore the South West economy.
Please note:
- Tickets are limited to 2 per company.
