Finding the right networks and organisations to support you as you grow your business, develop your initial ideas, and enhance your skills and confidence can be a daunting task. As part of our work to support women within the cleantech sector, via our Women in CleanTech programme, we are building a list of existing networks and organisations that may be able to help support you.

This is not an exhaustive list – and is not in any way an endorsement of the organisations listed or the support they offer. It is a stepping off point to help signpost you to possible sources of such support.

The list below is an ongoing project. If you know of organisations or networks missing that should be included please get in touch with more information.
