The list, collated by BusinessCloud and GM Business Growth Hub, shines a light on Greater Manchester’s most exciting companies across four key sectors: GreenTech; digital, creative and tech; advanced manufacturing and materials; and life sciences.
Enviroheat HET is a Stockport-based manufacturer of efficient heating systems and has developed a full ‘smart home’ solution. The company has supported the social housing sector for several years but is now entering negotiations with nationwide sellers of domestic heating equipment and multinational heat pump manufacturers.
The Agency has helped Enviroheat HET to explore testing and accreditation routes, and provided opportunities to pitch Enviroheat’s low carbon solutions to key decision makers across target sectors including social housing and commercial buildings
With so many climate-related targets and so many ideas adding to the noise, the Energy Innovation Agency was set up to clearly identify the needs of the market and bring innovators with their viable products to the market. Working with the agency has benefitted not only Enviroheat, but many organisations in this space. Their support continues to be of great value.
HalioGEN Power is a spinout from the University of Manchester Electrochemistry Group. The company is developing a redox flow battery which provides both cost and performance advantages compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries, for a range of customers from SMEs to grid-level service providers.
The Agency has been providing support to HalioGEN Power since July 2023, with the development of a business plan that formed part of an application for stage 2 funding from SPRIND, the Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation in Germany. The Team were successful is securing a further €3 million to further develop their technology, with the Agency providing continued support to the newly formed business.”
