Local businesses with bright ideas to drive green growth in Devon’s economy are invited to apply for a share of a £900,000 funding pot.

Devon County Council’s Economy Enterprise and Skills Service is launching its Green Innovation Fund as part of its economic recovery programme.

Expressions of interest are sought before Monday, November 8. Grants from around £25,000 to £200,000 are available for the most innovative projects which align with the Devon Climate Plan and can create businesses, training and jobs alongside environmental benefits, such as carbon savings.

Technology must be viable and replicable, and ideal projects would be able to be scaled up after the county council funding ends.
