Cambridge Cleantech

US2U Consulting were pleased to recently welcome recent University of Oxford graduate Marina Popp to the team, who joined us as an intern for some valuble work experience within the Management Consultancy industry. Below are some reflections from Marina following her time with us:

Having spent a week at US2U Consulting, I have learnt a lot about the consultancy world and the opportunities and challenges that arise from the space. I have outlined what I've learnt under five key points below:

1. My work experience has been very insightful about the skills needed to be a successful consultant. These include (but are not limited to!) resilience in the face of setback, flexibility, responsiveness, willpower and energy, both in terms of time and distance.

2. Having written and edited an AI Policy for the business, I am now up-to-date on current regulations on AI, as well as on the benefits and risks associated with its deployment.

3. Handouts commonly used by the business for inspirational sessions have been really useful when it comes to understanding key skills and how to implement them. For example, I have learnt about the effects drastic change may have on someone, and how they can navigate that change in a positive way.

4. Working on certain projects of US2U Consulting with the 'cleantech' sector, such as its new partnership with Cambridge Cleantech, has introduced me to this buzzing, entrepreneurial space.

5. On a personal level, I have learnt to be open when it comes to taking feedback, and always learn from my mistakes. Drafting content for the website means that I have been flexible in changing my approach as appropriate.

Thanks for having me, US2U Consulting!

We are delighted to announce that US2U Consulting has partnered with Cambridge Cleantech, an organisation which supports the growth and innovation of 'clean technology' companies.

Cleantech companies aim to drive sustainability by using environmentally-friendly measures and resources. Cambridge Cleantech achieves this goal by providing a hub for cleantech companies, allowing them to connect with each other and form a network. Members of the organisation vary, ranging from start-ups to global organisations.

Given the rise in sustainability standards, the number of cleantech companies is increasing. At US2U, we are keen to build on our work in the cleantech space, having already worked with clients such as ETA Green Power, Xampla and ABC Taxis, all of which have made significant impact in the green technology sector. The partnership also ties in with our strong commitment to environmental sustainability, as outlined in our Sustainability Policy 2021 - read this here.
