Climate Advisory launches business development project with University of Exeter Intrapreneurial Knowledge Exchange Enterprise Programme (IKEEP)
Climate Advisory is kicking off a crucial research project in collaboration with the University of Exeter’s new intrapreneurial training programme. The IKEEP programme led by the University of Exeter, in partnership with SETsquared, aims to bring companies together with ambitious students and offers an ‘intrapreneurial’ (entrepreneurship within an organisation) training programme, delivered online, that focuses on developing students’ and organisations’ skills such as business model development, creative problem solving and team working.
Climate Advisory’s project submission was successful in gaining 3 students for a fully-funded short project placement (total commitment of 210 hours, over 4 weeks) working remotely. Together with our Chief Strategy Officer Katy Davis, the team will dig deeper into the market conditions, competitor landscape and potential business opportunities for a climate data API, and will use this knowledge to make recommendations to inform our growth and investment strategy. The project will run until July 9th 2021.
We welcome the IKEEP students to our team and look forward to working with them to grow our new business.
