Energy Systems Catapult is hosting this webinar to share new findings from our updated difference-in- differences analysis of the impact of our support on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Building on analysis carried out with SQW, we’ll explore what the latest evidence tells us about the outcomes linked to our support, including how robust evaluation methods can help us assess the impact of innovation support programmes.
This webinar is for evaluation, impact, policy and innovation funding professionals. We’ll look at whether targeted support helps SMEs grow, innovate and contribute to the wider energy transition.
Our speakers will also talk through the analytical approach and share the key findings.
