The Low Carbon Innovation Fund offers Investment to Businesses in the East of England









The Low Carbon Innovation Fund has over £50 million available for investment in low carbon initiatives by businesses in the East of England. Launched in 2010 the Fund is financed by £20.5 million from the European Regional Development Fund and £30 million from the private sector.  The scheme will operate until December 2015.

According to the Fund's website some £43m has been injected into East of England businesses.
