Pitch to experts
If your company is already in the process of developing products and services for the low carbon market, they can deliver a pitch to the low carbon experts in a ‘dragon’s den’ format. The experts can assess the product in regards to readiness and commercial potential, and provide advice to help bring the product to market.
We also offer surgeries that allow companies to spend an hour with an expert to discuss their product or service, and get advice on developing a business case.
To arrange for a surgery please call Laura Birrell, BRE on 01355 576200 or email birrelll@bre.co.uk.
