Membership of the Network will be free for the first year. It will, initially, focus on the following four key sectors: Buildings & Energy, Tourism, Transport and Food & Agriculture.
A Steering Group, established in mid 2011, has drafted a set of actions for the first 12 months of the Network.
Speaking prior to the Launch Patrick Killeen of NTLP noted: ‘The Green Business Network has emerged out of a series of workshops and meetings in 2011 which saw a need for businesses in the areas of sustainable energy, construction, transport and food to come together. This developed into the concept of a Network which is being launched on the 1st February. The aim of the Network will be to support and develop businesses working in the green economy in the County.”
