Government funding helps SMEs Go Digital and towards Net Zero
Businesses in Cannock Chase District are being supported to Go Digital and transition to Net Zero in new government-funded projects
Delivered by Staffordshire University, the fully funded Go Digital Accelerator project will support 16 SMEs who wish to adopt digital technologies or develop new digital products and services.
The 16-week project will involve an Innovation Advisor and Innovation Consultant – usually a trained student or graduate – who will tailor their support to meet bespoke business needs.
Meanwhile, the Net Zero Pathfinder will provide 20 SMEs with the opportunity to work on a Net Zero plan to assist them in achieving the Net Zero targets set by the UK government.
Both projects are being made possible thanks to funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) – a central pillar of the UK government’s Levelling Up agenda which aims to support high quality skills training and productivity growth.
