Driving dealflow for greentech and sustainability-oriented enterprises
If the UK is to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, it needs to support greentech and sustainability-oriented enterprises in all its regions.
Finance for Sustainable Growth (F4SG) is a new initiative from the City of London Corporation. Its aim is to create a supportive environment for innovative companies throughout the UK, helping them source scale-up finance as they develop and commercialise green and sustainable solutions.
F4SG’s initial focus is on the North East of England, identified as holding considerable untapped potential for investors in greentech and associated sectors.
