ABERDEEN-based business support organisation, Elevator, today said it had entered a technology partnership with world-leaders in low carbon energy.
Ricardo – a global engineering, environmental and strategic consultancy, and Productiv – clean engineering product development specialists, have joined as sector delivery partners to bolster Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc’s (MSIP) Sustainable Mobility and Low Carbon Innovation Accelerator, which Elevator was recently appointed to deliver.

The newly formed strategic partnership will see Ricardo and Productiv provide independent industry insight for participants on the programme.
Efforts will concentrate on supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs who are focused on developing sustainable mobility, clean transport and low carbon energy solutions.
The collaboration comes just one month after Elevator announced the launch of its new programme on behalf of MSIP, a joint venture between Dundee City Council, Michelin and Scottish Enterprise.
Professor Gary McEwan, Elevator CEO, said: “The shift towards low-carbon technologies has been accelerated following the sharp decline in oil prices earlier this year; it is clear that the fight for net-zero for future generations is high on Scotland’s agenda.
“The combined strengths of this new partnership will bring leading edge technical expertise to boost the development of technologies or services aimed at reducing carbon emissions at a time when a need for change is unequivocal.”
