Sustainable Technologies Business Acceleration Hub

We received funding which enabled us to gain a business advisor from STBAH. The Sustainable Technologies Business Acceleration Hub offers bespoke business support and coaching to help innovative companies in the West of England achieve their potential. The support is FREE and funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The programme is open to growth businesses in all sectors who are interested in developing low carbon or sustainable technologies. Business acceleration is tailored, so it could be about engaging a consultant, building a team, working with an expert to build a pitch, or developing cutting edge technologies with researchers at the University of Bath.
