About this Event
Taking place at the Lanhydrock Golf Club, The Innovation Exchange is a lunchtime event (11:30 am – 13:30 pm) where Cornish businesses can meet to engage, gather knowledge and connect with other businesses in Cornwall.
Gareth will present a mix of strategy, net zero and other sustainability measures. He will offer tools and techniques that you will be able to apply in your organisation and explain how these can fit with the support available via the STRIDE project. Examples of present case studies from his work on the STRIDE project to date will be detailed to highlight the support available.
Gareth has 20 years of experience working on Energy, Net Zero and Sustainability. His work spans organisations such as Sainsbury’s, Shell’s renewables team, Airbus, SMEs in the hospitality and manufacturing sectors, plus the NHS, local authorities, and third sector organisations such as community groups and charities.
This event is capped to 30 guests with the opportunity for businesses to pitch their business before mingling with attendees during an informal lunch break and networking session. If you'd like to pitch at the event, please contact: [email protected].
A complimentary lunch is provided.
Delivered by the University of Plymouth - STRIDE, on behalf of the Good Growth Fund.
STRIDE is a high impact, bespoke intensive innovation programme designed to support innovative businesses in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The programme focuses on businesses who have the potential to commercially exploit new ideas and technology to scale and grow their business.
Designed to accelerate innovation and economic growth, STRIDE delivers bespoke high value, intensive interventions to businesses through a series of interlinked reinforcing activities which deliver true innovation with measurable business improvements that link to new funding opportunities.
Building on the success of the University of Plymouth flagship business innovation project in Cornwall, Acceleration Through Innovation (ATI), STRIDE focuses on those sectors detailed within the Good Growth Investment Plan - clean energy resources, geo-resources, data and space, visitor economy and agri-food. The project will also support businesses outside of these sectors where there are clear opportunities for research and innovation to drive growth and productivity.
