OUR PROGRAMME OF PROJECTS
Future Solent is developing a number of projects and is also supporting existing projects within the Solent area to work towards a low carbon economy that meet our priorities and expected outcomes. These include projects from local authorities, SMEs, and universities and colleges in the Solent.
This programme provides a focused range of interventions to support targeted SMEs in the low carbon economy. It brings together the expertise of the Hampshire Chamber of Commerce with three universities and public sector partners to deliver a range of business services to accelerate SME growth, services which are unlikely to be provided by the market alone.
