Partner with ICNZ to drive sustainable innovation
ICNZ is always looking to collaborate with projects that transform our islands into global leaders in sustainability and innovation. From help with external funding opportunities to technical expertise, we’re ready to help you bring your ideas to life.
Who can note interest?
We welcome organisations of all types, including SMEs, not-for-profits, and public-sector groups, working in the Orkney Islands, Outer Hebrides, or Shetland Islands. Projects with potential for replication beyond these regions are highly encouraged.
What we’re looking for
Your project should align with ICNZ’s goals to:
Make the islands one of the UK’s first Net-Zero regions
Create new green jobs
Drive economic growth through new enterprises and supply chains
Integrate decarbonisation across the Islands Growth Deal
Establish a globally recognised innovation hub with replicable outcomes
How to get in touch
Complete the form below with:
A clear link to ICNZ objectives
Location (one or more island groups)
Project scope and relevance to decarbonisation
An introduction to your organisation
An outline of delivery plans and timelines
We also welcome queries or challenges that have no obvious solution, these complex issues are being tackled by our academic partners Heriot-Watt University Orkney. They will be looking at a range of issues including the needs of housing, transport, industry and how these are affected by Net-Zero policy. If you have specific issues around these they will explore how they can assist.
