In celebration of the G7 Summit, the June issue of Business Cornwall magazine is guest edited by Glenn Caplin-Grey, CEO of the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and features a host of guest writers and creatives.

This bumper issue looks across Cornwall at the emerging sectors which are shaping how the Duchy is set to lead the green and digital industrial revolution, from tech metals critical to the energy transition to developing clean energy resources such as floating offshore wind and the Isles of Scilly Smart Islands project.

In the issue, LEP chair, Mark Duddridge, shares why he’s excited that Cornwall has the opportunity to shine on the world stage and showcase these emerging sectors:

Georesources
Frances Wall, professor of applied mineralogy at Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter, reflects on how Cornwall can be a testbed for sustainable metal mining. We also take a look at the lithium opportunity and South Crofty.

Renewable energy
Glenn Caplin-Grey, chief executive of the Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Local Enterprise Partnership, explains how Cornwall is putting the green industrial revolution at the heart of its economic plans. Hazel Farndale, geologist at Geothermal Engineering, looks at why Cornwall is hotbed for geothermal energy, Steve Jermy discusses the potential for floating offshore wind and Jim Wrigley explains all about the Isles of Scilly GO-EV project.

Digital and tech

Creative
