BEIS Industrial Energy Efficiency Technology Showcase event
BEIS will be hosting a joint IETF-IEEA live event in Birmingham on Thursday 14 July 2022 to showcase some of the IETF’s and Industrial Energy Efficiency Accelerator’s (IEEA) funded projects. The event will include an opportunity to hear from manufacturing sites who are planning to deploy technologies to reduce their energy demand such as heat recovery, VAR, process controls and to reduce their carbon emissions such as carbon capture and fuel switching to hydrogen.

IETF stakeholder clinics
The stakeholder clinics help businesses planning on bidding for Phase 2 funding by enabling them to speak directly to BEIS and ask questions around potential bids, scope of the competitions, eligibility criteria, how to apply for funding, the IETF support and information services available, etc.
They provide an excellent opportunity to engage with organisations directly. The clinics are run on a fortnightly basis with the first ones taking place on 12 July 2022 and 26 July 2022.
