NEPIC (the North East of England Process Industry Cluster) is a not‑for‑profit industry cluster organisation representing the chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, process and energy industries, and their supply chains, across North East England. The cluster spans major industrial sites such as those on Teesside and the wider region, bringing together large manufacturers, SMEs, academia and public bodies.
NEPIC facilitates collaboration, knowledge sharing and innovation; supports skills development and supply‑chain growth; and provides networking, benchmarking and practical business support. Its activities focus on improving competitiveness and resilience across the regional process industries, including initiatives in sustainability, decarbonisation, resource and energy efficiency, and industrial symbiosis. The organisation also acts as a collective voice for the cluster on policy, infrastructure and investment matters, helping members connect to opportunities in domestic and export markets.
