A collaborative approach to supporting businesses in RCT

Join us for a morning of engaging discussions, networking opportunities and insightful presentations at the next RCT Business Conversations Networking Morning.

Bute Energy will lead the discussion, focusing on the renewables investment, how their procurement approach tackles the skills gap, and how they're helping Welsh businesses and the supply chain maximise every opportunity.

RCT Council will introduce the RCT Local Area Energy Plan - an ambitious and comprehensive roadmap, tailored to meet the unique energy needs of the community whilst aligning with the broarder decarbonisation goals for the County Borough.

Connect with other local businesses, community leaders and academic partners; giving you the opportunity to discuss your support requirements and challenges faced with key stakeholders that can influence change in these areas.

Full refreshments and a continental buffet breakfast will be provided.
