Unlocking Opportunities for Growth in Scotland’s Energy Transition

The energy transition is creating significant new opportunities for businesses across Scotland — from innovation and technology development to new supply-chain opportunities, funding, investment and international markets. But knowing where the opportunities are, what support is available, whether your business is eligible, and who to speak to next can be challenging. Join Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group (AREG), ETZ, Scottish Enterprise, Scottish Development International, Net Zero Technology Centre and ORE Catapult for a practical, collaborative briefing designed to help businesses navigate the energy-transition support landscape.
