What is the NE RDSC?

Steel fabricationThe North East Regional Defence and Security Cluster (NE RDSC) is an inclusive community that promotes collaboration and innovation. It brings together a huge array of stakeholders, such as businesses in different industries, academics, and government bodies, therefore creating the perfect environment to drive the defence and security industry forward.

The collaborative effort also helps to shape NE RDSC’s objectives to ensure it provides better opportunities for SMEs and local people. It opens the door for real benefits and boosts investment in the region, including grants.

A significant location

The North East of England is a key locale for defence and security. There is a higher concentration of firms in the industry here. Crucially, they cover a variety of specialities, including steel fabrication, energy, chemicals, offshore, digital, and more. In addition, there are world-class universities and training providers. As a result, it is the ideal location for research, innovation, and bringing new ideas to the market.

The NE RDSC also has a major role in the security of the region, both now and into the future. As a key strategic location for defence, and the home of industries that make up the backbone of the UK, the North East is naturally a target. The collaboration improves the defence community here, protecting regional and national security interests.
