Speaking about the new incubation Hub, David Terry, Business Engagement Manager for the ATETA project said: “Here at the Birmingham Energy Institute we are particularly excited by this new partnership opportunity. The outreach to business though our ATETA team has identified a demand for incubator and workshop space for early stage energy sector companies. By working with TEP we are able to fulfil that demand and create a lively ecosystem of businesses collaborating with our research activity.”
David Horsfall, Director for Tyseley Energy Park added: “At Tyseley Energy Park we are delighted to be able to support businesses and demonstrate new technologies in partnership with the University of Birmingham. The ward of Tyseley and Hay Mills is one of the most deprived areas of Birmingham and this initiative will help to stimulate the growth of jobs and investment and will be catalyst for regeneration and change.”
