ABERDEEN-based business support organisation, Elevator, has announced a “major” contract to help Scotland achieve its net zero carbon ambitions.
Through a partnership with Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc (MSIP) – a joint venture between Dundee City Council, French tyre manufacturer Michelin,and Scottish Enterprise – the deal will see Elevator expand its national accelerator activities with a new programme focused on environment friendly transport and low carbon energy.
Elevator said its new Sustainable Mobility and Low Carbon Innovation Accelerator was aimed at innovators who have either already developed “validated” prototypes or “minimum viable” products, or possess “investor ready solutions” for tackling the “global climate emergency”.
The 16-week programme will be run from MSIP’s Innovation Parc in Dundee, giving participants access to a wide range of expertise and advice.
Gary McEwan, the not-for-profit organisation’s chief executive, said: “Our accelerator will act as a springboard for forward-thinking pioneers investing in zero emission transport solutions and zero carbon energy emissions to help drive diversification and growth, not only in Dundee and the Tay cities region but Scotland-wide.”
