South Wales Industrial Transition from Carbon Hub (SWITCH Harbourside)

under construction

The project involves building a new £28 million industrial research facility called the SWITCH Harbourside building in the Harbourside area of Port Talbot. It aims to accelerate the decarbonisation of the steel and metals sector and will include workshops, welding zones, mechanical testing zones, laboratories, and office spaces. The facility will support innovation across academics, industry, and government, focusing on decarbonisation, circular economy models, and advanced materials for a net zero society.
