Support for the UK’s large and growing environmental industry has been a key activity for UK CEED since its foundation. The industry encompasses diverse activities ranging from the provision of end of pipe pollution control and monitoring equipment to the development of cleaner technologies, materials and processes. UK CEED’s programme focuses on:
- market analysis and business support
- developing and promoting sector skills
- supporting supply chain development
- encouraging inward investment and trade
- catalysing innovation and the development of new technologies.
UK CEED’s current key business support activities are summarised below. Many of our projects are Peterborough-focused as that is where we are based. However, we are a national organisation and run projects that support businesses across the UK.
