15 of the East Midlands' most innovative firms are taking part
in the biggest sustainable construction showcase in the world, when
they partner the Sustainable Construction innovation Network (iNet)
at Ecobuild 2011.
As part of the campaign to bring the latest innovations to the
marketplace, the iNet, funded by East Midlands Development Agency
(emda) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), invited
the most innovative businesses from the region to promote their
sustainable products and services to potentially over 41,000
visitors at London's ExCeL as part of its strategy to attract
investment from major firms in the built environment into the East
Midlands.
Charles Meynell, senior business advisor for the iNet commented:
"East Midlands SMEs are extremely innovative and we wanted to show
the rest of the world just how dynamic our region is. Ecobuild is a
great platform for both our partners and the iNet to do this from
and we are confident that we will have a successful
exhibition."
The Sustainable Construction iNet has helped more than 55
businesses in the East Midlands region with targeted funding
support. As well as securing finance for East Midlands SMEs, the
iNet also has a network of business advisors and educational
institutions which offers advice and guidance on projects for the
sustainable construction sector.
In 2011 the iNet moves to its new headquarters building in
Daventry, a purpose-built business hub featuring best-practice
design with sustainability. Interested parties should contact the
