The Eco-I NW project has match-funded capital grants on offer to SMEs based in the North West of England. SMEs should be looking for investment in new product development, testing, trialling or prototyping and this R&D should contribute to a carbon saving and environmental benefit.

The grant can support the purchase of equipment or technology and its installation, but cannot cover maintenance/running costs or personnel time. Full details are available here: Capital Grant Scheme | Lancaster University Please contact business@cgeinnovation.org for a discussion.
