As part of the FUSION cfsd.org.uk/sids/fusion project support for eco-innovative companies, we are exploring cross-border connections on themes of common interest with FUSION partners in France, Belgium and The Netherlands.

On 15th November we have a cross-border FUSION event hosted by our Dutch partners Dnamo (part of Enviu) - an exclusive 1 hour webinar in English for FUSION participants on ‘Crowdfunding for Eco-innovators’. Thie webinar will focus on Enviu's experience of raising €100,000 in 3 months from 392 personal investors that was invested in a diverse range of eco-innovative businesses and the crowd funding platform that Enviu has launched: impactcrowd.com.

The webinar will be led by Vibeke Helder - see blog.impactcrowd.com.
