THIS week’s headlines in The Northern Echo have been thrilling: “System claims it is able to detect Covid-19 in the air” and “It could be a game-changer”. They were about local firm Kromek, based at NETPark in Sedgefield, trialling a biological threat detection system, at Teesside International Airport, that can identify trace levels of all Covid-19 within 30 minutes. It is an example of the sort of innovative high tech businesses we have on our doorstep. This isn’t just great news about a way we can beat the pandemic but it is a shining light for how science and technology are thriving industries in our region and can be a real catalyst in the levelling up work.
