This is the first in a new series of Business Briefings from the NNA. These time efficient sessions offer networking opportunities as well as the chance to be fully briefed on the latest industry opportunities and strategies. 

For our first session we are delighted to welcome Tristram Denton, Commercial and Programme Development for STEP. Tristram will provide an update following the announcement that this ambitious fusion energy programme will be based just a short distance from the North West, in West Burton, North Nottinghamshire.

Please note that Tristram's presentation will start at 08:30 and run for approximately 15 minutes, the remainder of the session will be discussion and networking.

The Government-backed STEP programme will create thousands of highly skilled jobs during construction and operations, and attract other high-tech industries to the region, furthering the development of science and technology capabilities nationally.

The ambitious programme will also commit immediately to the development of apprenticeship training centres in Nottinghamshire, building on the success of the UK Atomic Energy Authority’s (UKAEA) Oxfordshire Advanced Skills centre in Culham, which develops around 180 apprentices from 25 employers every year.

Please join us for breakfast, networking and importantly to hear more about how this programme can bring benefit to business in our region.
