Tay Cities Region Clean Growth Platform Launched

Launched earlier this summer, the Tay Cities Clean Growth website showcases the mix of clean growth projects within and beyond the Tay Cities Region Deal. It is designed to enable wider project development, knowledge exchange and research, and development collaboration, as well as creating a positive environment for investor engagement.

By establishing an online community designed to enable and encourage businesses, industry, and academia to collaborate, the aim is to push low carbon and clean growth innovation, while driving investment within the region.

Energy Minister, Gillian Martin MSP, said, “Clean and sustainable growth will be central to our economic transformation. The transition to net zero will require innovation and large-scale collaboration between businesses, communities and public services.”

Deal Joint Committee, said, “With central geography, mixed economy and a broad base of academic, professional expertise and active developments, Tayside and Fife are great places to exploit the economic transformation as we strive to address climate change.

“This new platform provides support for collaboration to help our organisations to flourish as they innovate and create the goods and services we need for a sustainable and regenerative economy.”

Clean growth strengths within the region include sustainable mobility, green agritech, clean energy, the circular economy and data and digital solutions.

Current projects based in Perth & Kinross include Perth Innovation Highway, Perth Eco Innovation Park, Low Carbon Transport & Active Travel Hub Perth, James Hutton Institute - International Barley Hub and Advanced Plant Growth Centre, Perth Smart Energy Network, Perth Smart Energy City Programme, Project Beacon (advanced plastics recycling), and Binn Ecopark.
