Tay Cities Clean Growth Website Launch

Do you want to be a part of a community in the Tay Cities Region which is passionate about clean growth and transforming our future economy?

You are invited to take part in the public launch of the www.taycitiescleangrowth.scot website – An online community designed to enable and encourage businesses, industry, academia and others to collaborate, share knowledge and drive low carbon and clean growth innovation, while benefitting the Tay Cities by driving investment to the region. With its central geography, mixed economy and broad base of academic, professional expertise and active developments, Tayside is a great place to exploit this ongoing economic transformation as we address climate change and post Covid recovery.

The Tay Cities Clean Growth website provides an opportunity to represent the mix of clean growth projects not only in the Tay Cities Deal but extending it far beyond to enable inter-project synergies, wider project development, knowledge exchange and R&D collaboration, as well as creating an environment for investor engagement. The website will act as a central platform to facilitate, support, and accelerate clean growth across the Tayside economy.

Come along and hear more about how we aim to create a community that works together and presents the Tay Region’s clean growth opportunities and synergies as a collective Unique Selling Point. Clean Growth in the Tay Cities Region has a special focus on; Sustainable Mobility, Green Agri-tech, Clean Energy, Circular Economy and Data and Digital Solutions.

There will be networking opportunities to meet and talk to project owners from the four focus areas as well as local authority representatives and likeminded attendees. You will also have the opportunity to meet the team at the D’Arcy Thompson Simulator Centre for an overview of their work and the methodologies applied to digitise clients requirements
