Chamber response to the North East AI Growth Zone
Date published:
John McCabe, chief executive at the North East Chamber of Commerce, said:
“We welcome today’s announcement of the North East AI Growth Zone, with Nvidia, OpenAI and Nscale leading major new projects at Blyth and North Tyneside. This is exciting news for our region, which follows Monday’s Teesside announcement of a significant jobs boost through UK nuclear investment. Together, these developments highlight the North East’s growing role in high-technology and clean-energy sectors, creating thousands of jobs, driving R&D and attracting global investment, while strengthening UK-US collaboration.
“All of this aligns directly with the priorities set out in Unlocking the North East Economy, our new policy plan, which we will launch later this week. We will be watching closely and advocating strongly as this programme develops.”
