Knowledge Hub was proud to sponsor the Business Innovation prize which was
awarded to Luton-based Ecostyle Ltd for its educational renewable energy kits.
The demonstration models are used to promote awareness and understanding of renewable energy emphasising the importance of the production of energy from sustainable sources. The runner up prize was awarded to locker storage company, Lockertek.
Eamonn Keenan, Associate Director at The Knowledge Hub
said: "We were very impressed by
Ecostyle's commitment to renewable energy and to the importance of helping
young people understand the issues.
Their models of wind turbines and solar panels really make the technology easy to understand. This is a business based in Luton that manufactures locally, so the local economy benefits too."
Innovation is a key area of activity for the University of Bedfordshire which offers businesses
access to training, events, academic expertise, technology and research, to
help them to innovate and achieve sustainable growth.
Initiatives such as Innovation Day, at which Simon Hall, Director of Ecostyle Ltd was a workshop speaker, provide delegates with the skills they can take away and apply to their businesses.
