The Birmingham Energy Institute (BEI) and HSBC UK have launched a new four-year philanthropic partnership to support businesses across the West Midlands and beyond in developing services or technologies with potential for impact on climate change.
The BEI, part of the University of Birmingham, was established to shape the development of future energy solutions. It collaborates with industry, academia and policy-makers to support clean and smart energy developments.

In partnership with HSBC UK, the BEI will be able to extend and develop the programme of business support currently offered through projects such as ATETA and the Birmingham Energy Incubation Hub, operated in partnership with Tyseley Energy Park.
Businesses selected for support will have access to a number of linked opportunities:
- Business engagement support through BEI’s ATETA programme. This programme, designed to help SMEs improve efficiency and test new ideas, offers access to research expertise and facilities as well as research and technical support from Knowledge Exchange Fellows.
- Incubation space at either the University of Birmingham or Tyseley Energy Park, along with Incubator Project Management.
- Access to a range of business development support, including financial planning, start-up mentoring, market research expertise, IP protection expertise, advice on regulation and standards, grant writing and bid development, and investor access support.
The zero-carbon innovation park
Much of the activity will be based at the Tyseley Energy Park, a zero-carbon innovation park established by the University of Birmingham and the manufacturing company Webster and Horsfall.
The Park operates in partnership with technology innovators, project developers and public sector bodies from across the West Midlands Region.
The partnership is part of HSBC’s global Climate Solutions Partnership, which aims to unlock barriers to finance for companies and projects that tackle climate change to bring them to scale while also delivering for people and nature.
