We support engineering enterprises working to address climate change so they can accelerate the development of commercial clean and green technologies. We do this to help put the world on a more sustainable path. We provide affordable, world class research and development facilities at our campus on the edge of Edinburgh. Where needed we invest in these enterprises to enable them to innovate and succeed faster. We support the development of early-stage engineers through a growing programme of training and internships. This is open to secondary and tertiary level students and employees of our resident enterprises. Around 15% of the workforce is made up of students and apprentices. The Salter Centre was founded by Professor Stephen Salter a brilliant and fearless engineer committed to training young people and encouraging low-carbon technologies that will help put the planet back on an even keel.
