About NIC Associate Membership
The NIC launched the Associate Programme in 2021 as a funnel to help more companies to engage with NIC Sponsors and TWI. Opening up routes for Associate Members to get involved with providing solutions to NIC challenges, the membership programme fosters technical collaboration between organisations. In addition, Associate Members are able to share the cost of R&D and access TWI expertise in non-metallics for oil and gas, as well as gaining entry to the NIC Associates Research Programme.
Associate Membership is available to supply chain companies who can provide potential non-metallic solutions for the oil and gas industry, and are interested in the development of non-metallic pipeline technologies.
