In response to a growing trend in the sustainability and climate change space, Converge, Scotland’s largest company creation programme for the Higher Education sector, is launching the Converge Net Zero Award.
Last year alone, a quarter of all Converge programme participants were climate conscious entrepreneurs.
This new award, which includes a £10,000 cash prize, will shine a light on this important and growing opportunity in the year that Scotland prepares to welcome the world to COP26, the UN Climate Change Conference.
Climate change is the defining crisis of our time with Scotland’s universities playing a key role in the race to accelerate Scotland’s transition to a low carbon economy.
