Energy and Innovation

Within the region, the highly productive energy sector is currently estimated to be worth around £900m per year, employing around 8,000 people and creating GVA per employee in excess of £100,000.  In comparison to other sectors, with more employees but lower GVA per employee, it is extremely profitable, and significant levels of growth within the sector are targeted and anticipated.

     

With a unique industrial development, design and testing capability and linked leading academic expertise in energy disciplines across our universities, opportunities within the region for energy businesses and investors have never been greater or more exciting.
