🎬 EVA Humber Innovation Day: Behind the scenes with Laura Wood “It's been such a powerful event and it's been fantastic to see such a diverse group of people in one room, all focused on enabling the energy transition. “The key thing I took away from the day was that it’s critical that we take schools and early careers along on the journey to net zero with us.” 👇 Watch this video to find out more about the inaugural EVA Humber Innovation Day in Hull, which took place earlier in November. Organised as part of ABP’s Energy Ventures Accelerator (EVA) programme, the event welcomed many stakeholders across businesses, academia, local councils and other partner organisations in the Humber region. This follows an EVA Inclusive Energy networking event organised in October this year, which provided a forum to discuss how businesses can work together to champion more inclusive growth and support founders and investors from under-represented backgrounds. Discover more about the event by reading our blog piece on ‘Unlocking Innovation Through Inclusive Energy’: https://lnkd.in/ejybdPxD ABP’s industry-leading Energy Ventures Accelerator (EVA) programme, run in partnership with Plug and Play Tech Center, aims to help promising startups scale their businesses in high-growth energy sectors, such as hydrogen, floating offshore wind and low-carbon fuels. 👉 Find out more about the EVA programme and apply: https://lnkd.in/eRD7agXS The next event in the EVA calendar will be our Innovation Day in South Wales in early 2025.
