NETPark Explorer
Our NETPark Explorer buildings opened in 2018 offering science, engineering and technology companies combined clean room, laboratory and office space between 1,250 sq ft to 5,000 sq ft.
Located in a central position on the NETPark site next to the UK’s National Centre for Printable Electronics, managed by CPI, these world-class facilities are ideal for companies either graduating from NETPark Plexus, research and development groups or expanding science and technology companies looking to relocate at the region’s leading science park.
Since opening NETPark Explorer has been a popular choice and we are currently 100% occupied. However to leave your details please email enquiries@northeasttechnologypark.com.
The £7.6 million NETPark Explorer buildings have been built to the highest standards with The North East LEP contributing £3.2m from the Local Growth Fund towards the total cost of construction.
Our NETPark Explorer buildings are now home to a vibrant community of world-class science, engineering and technology companies including
- X-Ray imaging specialists IBEX Innovations.

The quality of the facilities at NETPark and the attitude of staff is first class. It has a really dynamic, innovative atmosphere.
It fits perfectly for us that we’re surrounded by like-minded companies at NETPark. There are a number of highly skilled people in the area who can help us grow our business. The facilities and services offered by NETPark are first class, they make office life simple and engaging.
Access to quality facilities was one of the main drivers for deciding to locate the business at the NETPark. We have been able to use this as a launch pad to link into support from CPI and world-class expertise from Durham University.
We initially came because of the printable electronics centre but access to a highly skilled semi conductor workforce in the North East has been a key factor in us staying and growing here, as well as the value for money office space and the access to funding.
CPI has developed a specialist offering to support SMEs looking to develop their printable electronics applications and our partnership with Business Durham has been instrumental in attracting several SMEs to locate here in the region.
The proximity to the universities and the infrastructure are very important factors. Ultimately having a presence in Europe is very valuable to us and we intend to stay at NETPark for many years to come.
