Scottish Enterprise and Highlands & Islands Enterprise (www.hie.co.uk) are inviting up to 30 Scottish companies to participate in a scheme designed to export sustainable energy technologies and services to islands and remote communities around the world.

The Sustainable Islands International initiative will be launched in October and last three years.

It will work with companies to provide technical, market and sales expertise to help them identify international opportunities, and the companies will work together to share their insights and experiences.
