The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), in collaboration with Innovate UK Business Connect, are hosting a Technology Showcase event in Manchester on the 21st March 2024 to showcase some of the projects funded in Phase 2 of the Industrial Energy Transformation Fund (IETF). 

The IETF supports businesses with high energy use to transition to a low carbon future, and to cut their energy bills and carbon emissions through increased energy efficiency and decarbonisation relating to the industrial process itself. It is a crucial part of the Government’s strategy for tackling climate change and reaching Net Zero by 2050.

The event will include an opportunity to hear from industrial sites who are deploying technologies to reduce their energy demand and carbon emissions with support from the IETF - industrial speakers to be confirmed.

As well as helping you to understand how technology can reduce your energy demand and decarbonise your operations, it will be a great opportunity to network face to face and build partnerships on your pathway to net zero carbon.

The event will also present innovative new technologies developed through other Government programmes which have reached TRL 7 or above and in scope for the IETF.
