– Pakhi Sharma, Senior Commercial Analyst, Disposal Company UK
The support we’ve received from the West Midlands Global Growth Programme started before we even incorporated in the UK. Having done that, they’ve been very proactive in helping us network with other companies and in the West Midlands arena itself. I think they’ve delivered on everything.

The region’s unique combination of established manufacturing heritage and world-class strengths in emerging technologies made it the obvious location for us to test and scale our eVTOL solutions. With around-the-clock access to bespoke consultancy, we were able to quickly add value to our business model by identifying partnership and networking opportunities. Attending the Future Mobility event at the Commonwealth Games business conference, allowed us to make valuable connections with key players in the global CleanTech industry.
