for expanding community-based finance in the UK.
This report supports Connected Places Catapult’s knowledge-sharing programme for UK SMEs looking to enter the Indian E2/3W vehicle ecosystem by partnering with Indian companies.
The maritime sector faces several challenges in transitioning to net zero fuel use. Joined up decarbonisation planning across key stakeholder groups is needed to enable the successful adoption of future fuels.
The Innovation Twins Programme is an initiative designed to foster strategic collaborations between cities across international borders. It facilitates the exchange of innovations, investments, and technology trials, enabling partner cities to tackle shared challenges and promote sustainable urban development.
The expansion of Micromobility in the UK, with the introduction of many shared bike and scooter schemes, alongside e-cargo bikes for transporting freight, offers significant opportunities to reduce carbon emissions, while delivering substantial benefits to public health, transport accessibility and the economy.
This paper sets out the potential for Retained Business Rates (RBRs) to be utilised to fund infrastructure or support on-site developments to accelerate economic growth in Freeports (FPs), in particular and where applicable Business Rates Retention (BRR) for Investment Zones (IZs) and their surrounding areas, as part of wider regional place based economic growth.
Safety and security of refuelling our vehicles should not be taken for granted. While this work happens largely behind the scenes, the measures recommended in the Report should be implemented to make operations as safe as possible.
