Tevi is an exciting project seeking to innovatively integrate ‘ecosystem services’ and ‘circular economics’ approaches to drive business innovation, resource efficiency, and contribute to Cornwall’s long-term environmental growth.
Tevi partners will work with and support small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly to help identify opportunities for increased productivity and economic resilience.
Tevi will focus on promoting environmental mitigation and resilience, thus safeguarding business productivity and performance, as well as increasing resource efficiency and supporting growth in business productivity.
The project includes the development and implementation of an environmental growth focused business support toolkit, environmental open innovation networks, and practical advice about potential habitats and species enhancements, as well as advice on communicating the enhancements to the business’s customers and staff.
