Indigo and the winning “Capture Team”.<\/p><\/div>\n

Indigo are thrilled to announce that, for the third\u00a0successive\u00a0year, we are a proud sponsor of the Environment YES<\/a> (Young Entrepreneurs Scheme)<\/em><\/strong> competition, organised and funded by The Natural Environment Research Council (www.nerc.ac.uk<\/a>). \u00a0This innovative scheme raises levels of entrepreneurial awareness\u00a0amongst\u00a0PhD students and post doctoral researchers working in the environmental sciences.<\/p>\n

Environment YES<\/em><\/strong> is run as a competition in the form of a 3-day workshop with training provided to participants. \u00a0Teams are chosen and they develop a fictional, creative business idea to plan, develop and present. \u00a0Winning teams from each regional workshop progressed through to a London final this week, to face a Dragons Den style panel of\u00a0venture\u00a0capitalists and pitch their business case.<\/p>\n

The winning Environment Yes<\/em><\/strong> team, pictured here with Indigo’s sponsors Robert Fisher and Adam Prothero, created the idea for an innovative new Carbon\u00a0filtering system that could be easily fitted to car exhausts. \u00a0As winners, the team\u00a0receive\u00a0complimentary Indigo workshops.<\/p>\n

Indigo’s Managing Director, Robert Fisher, commented “we are delighted to fund the development of one of the UK’s most precious assets – our home grown scientists! \u00a0This programme\u00a0strengthens\u00a0that all important link between\u00a0scientific\u00a0know-how and commercial acumen – vital for these talented teams and\u00a0their\u00a0careers.”<\/p>\n
