Welsh Industrial Clusters
Wales’ regional industrial clusters are tight-knit ecosystems where innovation, collaboration, and sustainability converge; forming the very backbone of Wales’ industrial landscape.

Net Zero Industry Wales is the governing body of Wales’ growing number of industrial clusters (regional) and Industrial Hubs (place-based). This includes: South Wales Industrial Cluster (SWIC) and North-East Wales Industrial Decarbonisation Cluster (NEW-ID), as well as established hubs like The Milford Haven Energy Cluster and Deeside Decarbonisation Forum.
Each Cluster’s regional commitment to innovation, collaboration, and responsible industrial practices underscores our wider strategic mission — to achieve a carbon-neutral future for Wales.
Welsh’ Industrial Clusters are at the regional helms of this critical endeavor, where industry and sustainability go hand in hand. Together, they’re paving the way towards a cleaner, more sustainable future for Welsh industry.
Explore the unique approaches and aspirations of each Cluster — and the work of the innovative Industrial Hubs they support, below.
