Join us as we discuss how the government/public sector can make a difference when paving the way towards a more sustainable future
About this event
Join us for our 2nd instalment of our Metta Impact Series in partnership with SOSE, where we will be chatting with members of the South of Scotland Enterprise (SOSE) team and CivTech, discussing how the government/public sector can make a difference when it comes to paving the way towards a more sustainable future.
Metta have been partnering with SOSE over the last few months to support founders and entrepreneurs in the South of Scotland. We have been working on a research project that will look to document the innovation and entrepreneurship landscape in the area.
The aim of the collaborative project, while learning from the founders and businesses in the South of Scotland, is to identify what existing (public and private) support is available to these businesses, and to explore what more can be provided in terms of advice, mentoring, events, networking connections and more.
If you'd like to help us with this ongoing research project, click here to learn more.
We look forward to welcoming you to our webinar on the 25th May! 🎉
