Companies that are accepted into the Conduit-QinetiQ Carbon Trust Incubator benefit from a package of commercialisation and technology consulting services that are custom delivered to help them achieve their funding milestone or commercial breakthrough.  Entry to the programme is highly competitive, but success is rewarded with a funded services portfolio worth up to £70,000.

The services available from Conduit Partners and QinetiQ span the low carbon venture continuum, from initial market and technical due diligence through to business planning, fund raising and commercial exit.  Our services are delivered across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, with Conduit Partners drawing upon its track record in building, shaping and financing high-growth technology-based companies.  QinetiQ offers unique access to the resources, testing facilities and expertise of its world-leading energy and environment team.

Applicants to the programme need to present a sound and well-thought through commercial proposition that is underpinned by a novel low carbon technology or by a business model that is clearly aligned to a significant reduction in carbon emissions.  The programme is open to start-up businesses, newly created spin-outs or early stage ventures looking to accelerate their growth.

If you think there is a fit between your venture, commercial aspiration and the experience and expert support that we can provide, please complete our enquiry form and a member of the Incubator team will call you back.
