SETsquared, a world-leading business incubator, alongside the University of Bath has launched a new business support programme aimed at small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in the West of England interested in exploring how innovation to become more sustainable can benefit their business or who are already developing a sustainable technology.

Expert researchers and sustainable businesses will discuss how companies can be more sustainable and outline the key benefits of the programme – there will also be breakout rooms for networking opportunities. The event is open to anyone interested to learn more about the programme and to connect with experts in this field.

The event discussion will focus on the circular economy and the changes required to avoid the effects of climate chaos.
