The depth and quality of their combined research is formidable, covering fields such as nano technology, bio-science, electronics, chemistry, astronomy and engineering. Much of the fruits of this research is already emerging into the commercial world, and there is more to come.

One of County Durham's principal assets is its people. Companies new to the County have consistently been impressed by the quality of the local workforce.
