Research and development networks

Our research and development partnerships place us at the forefront of driving sustainable innovation in Wales. They include:

In alliance with SWITCH, a dynamic network fostering the exchange of knowledge and expertise in sustainable technologies. With SWITCH, we harness collective insights to propel Wales’s industrial clusters toward a greener future.
Our work with GW4, a consortium of leading research-intensive universities, amplifies NZIW’s commitment to cutting-edge research and development, ensuring that the industry stays at the forefront of emerging technologies.
Our collaboration with Innovate UK enhances Wales’ capacity for transformative innovation — facilitating the implementation of groundbreaking solutions to address the challenges of achieving a Net Zero industrial landscape.
SWIC’s partnership with academic powerhouse, IDRIC, has been one of the driving forces behind many of Welsh industry’s key research projects. IDRIC’s innovative research has provided many decarbonisation solutions — in the places where they matter most. NZIW looks forward to working closely with IDRIC as we go forward with industry on its net zero journey.
HI-ACT is helping to accelerate research into systems integration of hydrogen for the future net-zero energy transition. This world-leading research — with actional outputs and long-term, sustainable impacts — will ensure that hydrogen is appropriately integrated in a future equitable energy system.
