Why Sandwell?
The environmental technologies sector is developing at pace – seeking innovations that conserve, monitor or reduce the harm that humans cause to the planet while we consume its resources. Environmental technologies span many industries and, with local, regional and global targets for achieving net zero, the business opportunities in the sector are vast. Sandwell Council is focused on growing its own circular economy internally and we’re keen to work with suppliers who will support our journey to sustainability.
Sandwell’s central location at the heart of the motorway network and the diverse and skilled supply chain on your doorstep make it an ideal place to build connections and forge environmental innovations.
