UKGBC has an expanding community of Innovative Start-Up Members, who we bring together through this Forum to:

Create a supportive community of peers to explore challenges they share and the potential solutions to them.
Connect Innovative Start-Up members with the wider UKGBC corporate membership, facilitating knowledge sharing and network-building.
Proactively engage start-ups in UKGBC activities.

The Forum is a collaborative and informal space, with meetings held on a quarterly basis open to all UKGBC Innovative Start-Up members. Our January meeting will also welcome the following individuals from UKGBC’s local authority network as guest panellists:

Alastair Mumford, Corporate Energy Manager, Devon County Council
