Solent Cluster launches membership programme
The Solent Cluster launched a membership programme aimed at bringing together a dynamic network of organisations committed to powering a lower carbon energy economy in the region.
The membership offers Solent businesses, educational establishments, and public sector organisations the opportunity to join forces in creating a globally recognised hub for carbon reduction solutions.
They will be connected to other industrial clusters across the UK and internationally to share knowledge and collaborate.
Anne-Marie Mountifield, Chair of The Solent Cluster, said: “The Solent Cluster is at the forefront of advancing the UK’s lower carbon ambitions, and our membership programme represents a significant step forward. At a time when the new UK Government is developing an industrial strategy focussed on high growth potential clusters, it is now more important thana ever that the sector and region comes together to unleash our potential.
“Membership will establish a collaborative platform for businesses and organisations to connect, share expertise, and co-create solutions that will shape the future of our economy and the environment. Together, we can position the south region as a global leader in sustainability and clean energy innovation”.
The Solent Cluster is a cross-sector collaboration of international organisations, including manufacturers and engineering companies, regional businesses and industries, leading logistics and infrastructure operators, public sector organisations and academic institutions, many with decades of proven expertise in carbon capture and storage and hydrogen technology.
The membership structure has various levels to accommodate businesses of all sizes, from startups to established organisations. There are four membership options: Strategic Partner (from £5,000), Partner (£2,000), Launchpad Partner (£750, exclusive to startups), and Associate (free). Fees are payable annually and are exclusive of VAT.
