NEPIC’s Clean Growth Conference returns to Hardwick Hall this September!


This year’s conference is sponsored by BOC


The need to move to Net Zero is a huge challenge for the North East process industries but it also provides an opportunity to use industrial decarbonization to create jobs, secure investment and grow businesses within the North East.

The line-up for the 2022 NEPIC Clean Growth conference will be diverse, taking into account the range of decarbonisation challenges and opportunities that the North East process industries face

The event will feature an overview of the landscape, talks on low carbon energy, low carbon feedstocks, low carbon processes, climate tech funding and decarbonisation case studies from large manufacturers within the region.


This is an excellent event to attend whether you are a SME looking to understand how Net Zero can grow your business or a manufacturer looking for industrial decarbonisation case studies and opportunities for future innovation.

Competition Law Statement
 

Trade association meetings have, in the past, been used as a forum for the establishment of cartels and they are therefore the subject of scrutiny by the UK Competition and Markets Authority.

For the purposes of remaining compliant with competition law, members should not discuss commercially sensitive strategic information (including but not limited to, details of proposed or actual pricing, information about target or key customers or expansion plans) in or around NEPIC meetings, including at unofficial get-togethers or over coffee/lunch.
