Business

The research expertise in the University offers a number of opportunities for partnerships and consultancy. These include joint applications for funding, access to facilities and consultancy.

We're ideally located in the North East of England, where a large proportion of the UK’s process industries are based. 

The North East has:

  • 58% of the petrochemical industry
  • 35% of the pharmaceuticals industry
  • a major proportion of the UK’s fine and speciality chemical industry

This sector is the UK’s highest exporter (£31.8bn/pa), with the North East exporting £4.5bn. 

It is the North East’s largest industrial sector generating over £10 billion (over 30%) of the region’s GDP. It employs over 35,000 people.
