Nottingham businesses now have access to a new support initiative designed to help them transition to digital, AI, and sustainable practices. The Nottingham Accelerator project, funded by a £124,982 grant from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, is aimed at assisting local firms in adopting new technologies, reducing their carbon footprint, and improving overall efficiency.
Delivered by East Midlands Chamber on behalf of Nottingham City Council, the project offers businesses training, expert consultancy, and a range of resources focused on digital transformation and decarbonisation. Companies can benefit from energy audits, which are funded as part of the initiative, and receive help in implementing greener practices to lower energy costs and carbon emissions. Additionally, growth vouchers of up to £2,000 are available to support the adoption of new technologies or process improvements.
The project, which runs until March 2026, is already helping numerous local businesses. With a focus on automation, productivity tools, and cyber security, the programme provides businesses with the expertise needed to enhance their operations in line with the latest technological advancements. The support is designed to assist businesses across Nottingham with practical, tailored advice and resources to fuel growth and innovation.
