Shell Springboard Climate Change funding
Every year this programme offers funding to only a few small businesses spread across 3 regions of the UK, South, Central and North to help them fund product development which is designed to specifically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
It is a competitive process and only the finalist each year appears to receive anything of the £40K funding and associated support so it is best to manage client expectations and not send this out to all and sundry since I’ve yet to come across a business that has been eligible to apply for this grant funding myself as there products have not been able to demonstrate the required greenhouse gas emission savings. It is interesting that no winners so far seem to have come from our region based upon the Case studies on the website.
But as this year’s funding application deadline is coming up Friday 7th November 2008, I thought that everyone should be aware of it in case you haven’t heard of it before and you do have a client who could meet the criteria.
Please see the website link for all the information and contact details and ensure that if you have a client that might benefit you send them the link and explain that it is up to them to read it and apply for themselves.
