Funding for green jobs

Scottish Enterprise has launched a new series of funding rounds to help businesses create jobs that contribute to improving the environment and achieving net zero emissions. The first round of funding is now open for applications.

About the green jobs calls

Scottish Enterprise’s green jobs funding is being delivered as competitive funding calls, which are rounds of funding that open and close periodically for fixed amounts of time and from which the best projects will be chosen for support. The green jobs calls aim to support businesses to create and maintain jobs that improve the environment, and to support projects that align to the Scottish Government net zero policies.

The first call is aimed at supporting businesses to:

• Create green jobs (these are new jobs that relate directly to the transition to net zero) or facilitate the transition of a job from non-green to green

• Minimise environmental impacts by developing sustainable low carbon products or services

Between £50k and £500k will be available to businesses to support between 10% and 50% of eligible project costs.

The first call is now open until 12 noon on Tuesday 24 June 2021. A second call later will be announced later in the year.
