​For Accelerator Participants: You'll leave with your sustainability roadmap started, your platform access set up, and connections made with your cohort - the 29 other businesses you'll be working alongside towards FuturePlus IMPACT CERTIFIED accreditation.

​For Interested Businesses: You'll discover how local companies are using sustainability to build resilience, reduce risk, and create competitive advantage, plus learn about opportunities to join future programmes.
