Regional Collaboration The West of England Combined Authority (WECA) is a multi-authority regional body spanning Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol, and South Gloucestershire, with partners including the Local Enterprise Partnership and North Somerset Council. This presents a sales opportunity for solutions that support cross-authority project governance, shared services platforms, and regional procurement, enabling cohesive regional economic development initiatives.

Sustainability & Energy WECA engages in clean energy and electrification initiatives, including power electronics, compound semiconductors, solar collaborations, and collaborations with fleet electrification partners. Opportunities exist for scalable energy management, EV charging infrastructure, grid optimization, and sustainability compliance solutions aligned with public sector procurement cycles.

Transport & Infrastructure Recent initiatives include a high-capacity mass transit vision, electrified depots, and deployment of electric buses, plus a regional distribution hub investment. Potential sales angles cover transport electrification programs, asset management for fleets and depots, IoT-enabled transit analytics, and data platforms supporting multi-modal planning.

Funding & Crowdfunding WECA launched a Spacehive crowdfunding initiative and has ongoing regional project funding activity. Opportunity exists to offer grant management, crowdsourcing platforms, community engagement tools, and project tracking dashboards that integrate with existing WECA workflows to accelerate local environmental improvements.

Digital & Security Stack The tech stack includes Azure, Elasticsearch, Piwik PRO, and GDPR compliance, signaling a mature, cloud-based data and analytics environment with public sector security needs.
