The environmental sector is moving fast. Is your business ready to scale?

ESS Expo 2026 is now accepting applications for the Start-up, Scale-up, Innovation & Investors Network - a dedicated exhibition zone created specifically to connect early-stage and growth-stage environmental businesses with the capital, buyers and partners they need to grow.

We know that exhibiting at a major trade event can feel out of reach. That's exactly why this zone exists: subsidised space, maximum visibility, real commercial opportunity.

What's included:
→ Subsidised exhibition booth at the UK's leading & largest environmental event, attracting 16,000+ visitors.
→ Direct access to venture capital, angel investors, private equity, banks and corporate procurement teams attending the show.
→ Participation in the Investors Workshop covering funding readiness, valuation, governance, exit strategy, and more.
→ Pre-show PR, social media features and press exposure

Eligible companies include start-ups (up to 3 years old), scale-ups (3–7 years), and SMEs seeking to reach new markets or attract investment - across clean-tech, waste reduction, water systems, AI for sustainability, low-impact materials, and wider environmental services.

Apply for a subsidised booth today: https://hubs.la/Q04cjm640
