Industry leaders and those focused on the drive towards net zero are invited to join us for an invitation-only edition of Tees Business LIVE event, sponsored by Teesside University and their Net Zero Industry Innovation Centre (NZIIC).

Based in Middlesbrough’s Tees Advanced Manufacturing Park (TeesAMP), NZIIC is driving the transition towards a cleaner, greener future. Embracing our rich industrial heritage, the NZIIC team is igniting a new era of innovation that will redefine industries and deliver impactful change.

An innovative new £13.1m facility spearheaded by Teesside University, NZIIC is helping to position Teesside firmly at the heart of the UK's green industrial revolution.

It is a key part of the expanding Net Zero Innovation Hub that brings together expert insight, resources and partnerships to grow net zero capabilities and opportunities, placing the region at the forefront of the clean energy agenda and helping to create hundreds more clean energy jobs.

Industry-led and industry-focused in its approach, NZIIC works with business partners and key organisations, focusing on developing new approaches to tackle the impact of waste and pollution on the environment, utilising expertise around industrial decarbonisation, sustainability and the circular economy.

Attending will provide you with invaluable insights and networking opportunities to accelerate your journey towards achieving net zero targets, leveraging the expertise and innovative solutions offered by industry leaders and Net Zero Industry Innovation Centre.

After networking over refreshments, there’ll be an opportunity to hear about the work within NZIIC before a panel discussion focused on Teesside’s leading role in decarbonisation and the journey towards net zero.
