These awards are distributed through the agency's green jobs call, which is part of the Scottish government's £ 100 million green jobs fund. Grants ranging from £ 50.000 to £ 500.000 can be obtained through the call. Enterprises applying for funds must convince the public that they will create or protect jobs directly related to the transition to net zero, or minimize environmental impact by developing sustainable low-carbon products or services.
Adrian Gillespie, CEO of Scottish Enterprise, said: “This round of funding shows our commitment to supporting Scotland’s transition to a greener and fairer economy, and to creating good green jobs”. “The wide range of projects highlights the increasingly innovative approaches businesses are taking to answering the net zero call, whether that’s creating new products and services, or developing and adapting existing approaches to mitigate their environmental impact.” he added.
Rachel Beeton, Director at Urban Foresight, said: “We are delighted to receive this support from Scottish Enterprise to grow our team in Dundee where we’ve established strong relationships with local authorities and other regional partners.”
