Clean Growth and the Green Economy

Organiser

Coventry City Council's Sustainability & Low Carbon Team

Hosted in partnership with the Department for International Trade (DIT), Coventry City Council’s Green Business and Investment Programme Team are delighted to be sharing with businesses in our region, on why it is now time for businesses to go green in our next GreenTalk LIVE webinar.

Attendees will discover how the Clean Growth agenda can help you grow your business and how the Department for International Trade (DIT) can support you to find international opportunities. Green growth is an important economic driver – growing around four-times faster than the overall economy; now is the time for businesses to capitalise on this opportunity with many funding opportunities available.

The DIT will be outlining how they support local businesses to grow internationally through their programmes, as well as help them to win bids by meeting green objectives and using local supply chains. There will also be an overview of Coventry City Councils ERDF grant funded programmes for business in the areas of Investment, Innovation, Green Business and Skills for Growth.

By attending this webinar, you can expect the following key discussion points:

  • What emission targets mean for local businesses and the opportunities for going green
  • Why businesses need to follow the green agenda
  • Potential opportunities, tenders and leads
  • DIT and how they support local businesses
  • Case study examples of how the DIT has worked with local organisations to support their business
  • Championing the local supply
  • Could the Export Academy support your business to grow internationally?
  • Understand what grants are available for small and medium sized organisations (SMEs) through the ERDF funded programmes at Coventry City Council
  • Discover how the Green Business Programme can benefit your business in adopting low carbon processes
  • How adopting sustainability strategies within your business plans can drive business growth and productivity
  • Learn from local businesses who are already benefitting from going green
  • Understand how Coventry is reducing emissions through innovative sustainability projects that are being delivered in and around the City

The session will end with a Q&A where you will get the opportunity to put your questions to the panel.

Client testimonials

Without the Growth Hubs help and assistance, we would never have been able to increase our sales & output and also grow our local business. With this help in purchasing new equipment we have expanded our operations and gained a new and increased customer base.

Nuneaton Roof Truss,

Over the past few years, Armstrongs has built up a fantastic relationship with Gary Thyeson from the Growth Hub. His advice on grants and funding has been really valuable to both Armstrongs and some of our clients. His knowledge of local business support has been helpful in signposting us to relevant support agencies as required. We look forward to working with Laura Delahunty moving forwards.

MES Systems Limited,

I have had an excellent experience working with Laura from the Growth Hub, from day one, she was taking detailed attention to my concerns and ideas. She was able to put me in contact with different organisations and people to find out answers to my questions and help me to solve some inquiries I was having. I feel this support definitely had a positive impact in my plans.

It’s been a fantastic inaugural eight months for the TalentTech Recruitment team and, although the reality of setting up and running a company can be a somewhat daunting experience, we have been extremely grateful for the superb help, advice and guidance given to us along our journey by Gavin Barnett and the team at CW Growth Hub. Gavin’s introductions to both Warwick & Coventry Universities and his wider business network have been absolutely invaluable.

Burbidge & Son Ltd,

Over the years since the Growth Hub was set up we have habitually gone to our Account Manager as a one-stop shop for all business-related information.  It has been a really convenient way of finding suppliers, advisors and, on one occasion, we even asked for assistance with finding customers.  We are invited to a wide range of business events including business development workshops, Brexit roundtable discussions, seminars on various topics and have also been asked to speak at some events.  When we have needed additional information, for example, finding finance sources or help with selecti
