Adapting, innovating
A leading developer of UK deep geothermal power and lithium projects in Cornwall has teamed up with the National Innovation Centre for Rural Enterprise (NICRE) to showcase how it is adapting to challenges in the rural economy.
Geothermal Engineering Ltd (GEL) has shared its rural business insights with NICRE - watch right - to highlight the ways it is dealing with issues with recruitment and planning through engagement with schools and local communities.
Jane Charman, GEL's Community Engagement and Education Manager, also explores the importance of innovation to the business and the need for continued support to enable it to expand and help the UK transition to net zero.
The film was shown to business leaders and national policymakers at ‘UK Industrial Strategy and rural economies: The Cornish opportunity’, an event in Penzance jointly organised by Cornwall Council and NICRE.
