Future Towns Innovation Hub

CDT SI Cities hosted a seminar on Thursday 27th May on TEAMS. The seminar was titled “Future Towns Innovation Hub – Southampton” presented by Dr Clint Styles.

A new Future Towns Innovation Hub is being built at the University of Southampton Science Park where leading academics will collaborate with businesses and the region’s towns to develop low-carbon and more sustainable engineering and technology innovations to create happier, healthier, and more prosperous places to live and work.

Enterprise M3 LEP is funding almost £3m from the government’s Local Growth Fund and Research England are adding a further £1.5m to support the £14m project, which will focus on addressing challenges of energy efficient housing, water conservation, sustainable transport, carbon neutral waste management and recycling, and improving health outcomes.
