RedCAT at the UN

Lancashire’s growing low carbon success is becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.

As temperatures are rising so too is the profile of Lancashire as a hotbed for low carbon tech innovation. East Lancashire Chamber’s RedCAT initiative is both taking Lancashire green innovators to Europe to meet the UN, but also drawing in inward investments from firms keen to land their new manufacturing right here.

At the beginning of March the United Nations hosted their procurement seminar in Copenhagen, and Lancashire was there.

The RedCAT team and two of our low carbon Lancashire innovators, Lina Energy and River Power Pod, were there to meet with representatives of a wide range of UN key partners from UNICEF to the WHO, learning how to get our Lancashire products into the UN support programs, in one to one meetings with their procurement teams.

RedCAT – Lancashire’s Centre for Alternative Technologies - is there to support inventors and engineers to get their green innovations funded and fully commercialised, manufactured in the county and exported to the world.

The companies we have supported to grow their tech and new jobs across the county are now helping to promote the project and bring even more low carbon innovations and their manufacturing jobs home to roost. Word is spreading and we now have firms from Newcastle to Newquay asking how they can
come and do the same.

Are you a low carbon innovator? Want to meet with the team from RedCAT? Or one of our partners supporting green innovations to grow and thrive locally like the AMRC or the team from Innovate?

Come to the RedCAT centre at the chamber in Accrington, book out our boardroom to meet your potential suppliers locally, hotdesk or brainstorm how RedCAT can put its team of specialists and funding expertise behind your innovation.
