Six-figure Scottish Enterprise grant propels our progress to market
Summary
We are proud to announce that we have been awarded a six-figure Low Carbon Manufacturing Challenge Fund (LCMCF) grant by Scottish Enterprise.The LCMCF, which is part of the Scottish Governments Making Scotlands Future plan, helps companies develop low carbon products, processes or services, supporting projects that accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy in the manufacturing industry.The project will enable us to recruit several new members of staff, across the R&D aspect of the business and in complementary roles. The LCMCF award will also unlock the opportunity for us to demonstrate the reductions in CO2 by utilising our R8 Mix, as well as showcasing the technology on a larger scale. Its very heartening to have our technological process, our product and our commercial proposition recognised in this way by the Scottish Governments national economic development agency. Our rigorous testing programme is progressing well, and we have developed excellent relationships with potential partners and customers nationwide there is huge demand for low carbon concrete solutions which reduce CO2 emissions at source. This is an exciting breakthrough considering concrete is the most used man-made material in the world.The LCMCF provides competitive grant funding to academic institutions, public bodies, and third-sector organisations, helping SMEs to unlock global opportunities presented by the climate emergency.
