The Norwich Business Improvement District (BID) is a not-for-profit organisation, run for local businesses by local businesses. Our mission is to make a clear, positive impact on the vitality of our city centre, and the success of the businesses within it. We are continually looking
to develop new and inspiring ventures which positions Norwich as one of Britain’s leading cities. With the ‘Upcycle Your Waste’ project, our aim is to establish a circular economy for Norwich. We want to look at how waste from our SME’s can be upcycled and put to good use elsewhere in the community.

Help save the planet & build a sustainable future for Norwich with Sync the City's StartUpCycling launch!
As part of Upcycle Your Waste, Sync the City—a Norwich startup event—is going green! They’re going to be holding a two day hackathon to build and launch an UpCycle startup designed to transform waste from local Norwich businesses into something new and valuable.
Before the big weekend, they’re asking people to sign up to the launch event to find out more about the project, and their eco-mission. We’d love to see you there!
This is part of the Upcycle Your Waste project which is funded by the European Union under the Interreg 2 Seas Programme. We also have sponsorship from UEA & Langham Recruitment, so that we can offer £4,000 in cash prizes.

Journey to Net Zero Expo
The goal of the Journey to Net Zero expo is to demonstrate that our rapid transition towards a net zero economy by 2050, is not just possible, but is a hugely desirable journey and worth celebrating all our endeavours. We all have a role to play and a vital contribution to make, so let’s get together to showcase the city of Norwich.
The aim is simple: to provide business leaders with the inspiration, the practical advice and actionable guidance required to develop and advance their own net zero work and strategies at a free to-attend event with keynote speakers, seminars and workshops. The Expo programme includes the opportunity for delegates to meet with top industry experts, peers and national leading thinkers.
If you think you can add to that by sharing your experience, don’t hide your knowledge and expertise under a bushel – share it. Take a free stand with us at the expo!
The rationale for holding the Expo is simple: the climate crisis is real; the scale of the challenge is unprecedented; the net zero transition is happening and accelerating. So, how do we support the journey in Norwich?
