Once home to the world’s largest steel manufacturer, Teesworks is a new chapter for the place that built the world. This diverse, multi-sector setting, will bring together industry leaders to power Britain’s carbon capture capital.

The site itself offers immediate connectivity to Teesport, the North Sea, Europe and beyond, unlocking global markets for sustainable innovators and global pioneers. Modern manufacturing combined with renewable activity and the clean energy sector will empower a resilient industrial cluster that’s at the centre of a high value and inclusive circular economy for the Tees Valley. A welcoming local authority also makes Teesworks prime location for large scale modern industry, innovative manufacturing and global distribution.

More than £137million of funding has already been secured to help kick-start development, with devolved powers to retain business rates and use them to further develop the site

Overseeing the site’s transformation is the South Tees Development Corporation; the first Mayoral Development Corporation outside of Greater London, and the UK’s first Special Economic Area. Alongside a strong alignment with the Government’s Industrial Strategy and Northern Powerhouse Initiative, more than £137million of funding has already been secured to help kick-start development, with devolved powers to retain business rates and use them to further develop the site.

Teesport has also been used by the Secretary of State for International Trade, Liz Truss, to announce that the Government will establish up to ten free trade zones post-Brexit, with the Tees Valley “ahead of the game” in securing one.
