David Crole

Head of Net Zero

As Head of the Net Zero team, I lead a range of programmes that support public and private organisations in benefiting from net zero innovations, including the Net Zero Living and Net Zero Adopt and Accelerate programmes.

I was previously a Knowledge Transfer Manager and then Interim Head of the Clean Energy and Built Environment team, wherein I led the development and delivery of Innovation Exchange challenges.

Before joining IUK Business Connect, I was an active researcher and later a programme and partnership manager in academia. My primary research was in the field of heterogeneous catalysis, studying next-generation water treatment technologies, after which I managed an institute which focused on interdisciplinary water and environmental science.

I am keen to maximise the benefit of innovative technologies, services and processes and am a strong proponent of cross-sector innovation. If you would like to know more about the Net Zero team’s work, please feel free to contact me.
