This comprehensive event is jointly organised by the UK’s three leading innovation and research centres for offshore energy in the UK: Net Zero Technology Centre, Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult and the ORCA Hub. In under two hours, you’ll get to meet leading robotics innovation experts and six of the most exciting companies in offshore energy. How can innovations from the oil and gas sector be turned to the renewables sector? Where lie the next frontiers for robotics developers? And how do we bridge the gap between an exciting concept and real-world deployment?

HS2 is the new high-speed railway linking London, the Midlands, the North and Scotland – serving over 25 stations, including eight of Britain’s largest cities and connecting around 30 million people. The Innovate at HS2 Accelerator aims to create a legacy within infrastructure by identifying disruptive, scalable technologies which drive innovation during the design and build of the railway, to improve efficiency and productivity, reduce carbon footprint, exceed safety standards, foster biodiversity, and digitally transform ways of working.

Join this online event, created in partnership between Digital Catapult and The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the UK, for a snapshot overview of the artificial intelligence (AI) landscape in the Netherlands and the UK, and to explore new opportunities for cross-country collaboration in the area of net zero.

The Offshore Energy Digital and Data Strategy Taskforce is running its second industry test event to present, discuss and gather feedback on key recommendations and workstreams.

In the run up to COP26, WMG and the High Value Manufacturing Catapult are partnering with NatWest to provide insights into sustainable manufacturing. This webinar series is aimed at the UK manufacturing sector and those interested in adopting sustainable business practices. There will be the opportunity to interact with like-minded organisations, share best practice and discuss the opportunities for UK manufacturing.

Date(s) – 12/10/2021 – 11/01/2022. We are delighted to invite you to join our India-UK Telecom Programme, exploring opportunities for companies and universities to collaborate on joint research and innovation projects to meet the requirements for future telecom networks. Supported by UKRI India, CSA Catapult has partnered with Unconventional Connections (UK) and Finovista (India) to create this India-UK Partnership Programme consisting of 4 phases that run from September 2021 to March 2022. The India-UK Future Telecom Programme was officially launched in India by the UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss MP, the UK DCMS Minister for Media, Data and Digital Infrastructure Julia Lopez MP and Sanjeev K Varshney, Head of International Cooperation at the Department for Science and Technology (India).

Australia and the UK entered into a Clean Technology Partnership on 29 July 2021 to cooperate on low emissions solutions to make low emissions technologies globally scalable and commercially viable, to support global emissions reductions and enable clean growth. Under the partnership, Australia and the UK have committed to develop a joint industry emissions reduction challenge. A joint industrial sector challenge will aim to reduce emissions and increase energy affordability and competitiveness, while ensuring energy reliability. It will also aim to create new economic and collaboration opportunities between Australian and UK industry. Our governments want to hear from industry how the challenge could support pilot, demonstration and pre‑commercial projects to drive innovation in low emissions technologies, backed by private sector investment. We are planning two areas for a joint challenge which would contribute towards industrial decarbonisation: clean energy for industry; and clean hydrogen supply chains.

In partnership with UKRI, CSA Catapult invites industry and academia to join our India-UK Programme in ‘Power Electronics, Machines and Drives’ (PEMD), exploring opportunities for companies and universities to collaborate on joint research and innovation projects. This programme will explore the PEMD challenges in four technology workshops, followed by online brokerage, as outlined below.
