Ym mis Hydref, lansiais Gronfa Dwf gwerth £330,000 i fusnesau bach a chanolig ym maes Ynni a'r Amgylchedd. Mae'r cynllun dwy flynedd hwn yn cefnogi ymchwil, datblygu a masnacheiddio gwybodaeth newydd i helpu cwmnïau yn y sector i gynyddu eu cyfran o'r farchnad – yma a thramor.  Yn y cyfamser, mae'r rhaglen Academia o blaid Busnes, neu A4B, bellach yn gwahodd cynigion sy'n canolbwyntio ar feysydd yr Her Fawr.
In October I launched the Energy & Environment SME Growth Fund, worth £330,000. This two-year scheme supports research, development and commercialisation of new knowledge for companies in the sector to help them grow their market share –here and abroad. Meanwhile, the existing Academia for Business (A4B) programme is also inviting proposals that focus on the Grand Challenge areas.
