Bristol Environmental Technologies and Services

What is BETS?

The BETS project was set up in 2006 to support the growth of a vibrant Environmental Technologies and Services sector in the Bristol City Region. Its core objectives are as follows:

• To encourage and facilitate networking and cooperation projects within the sector for business innovation and growth, including provision of better market intelligence; knowledge transfer; access to finance; training and marketing support, and appropriate sites and premises
• To harness the strengths and achievements of the sector for the wider marketing and promotion of Bristol for investment and regeneration
• To raise the public profile and promote the products, services and benefits of the Bristol Environmental Technologies and Services sector on a local, national and international scale

If you are a business whose products or services provide an environmental benefit, there are many reasons to consider joining:

• Sustainable development is top of the agenda for many businesses
• Nationally, the Environmental Technology Sector (ETS) is established and growing, with a £45bn turnover in 2004
• The Bristol Environmental Techology Sector (BETS) is growing and is well placed to build on our city's reputation for environmental best practice
• Joining is free
