Medicines Discovery
Case Study
Portfolio | PACE
To address the global threat of AMR, PACE is providing funding and support for a portfolio of early-stage projects.
Case Study
Transatlantic partnership will drive joint research in emerging technologies
The agreement strengthens the collaborative research and development between the United Kingdom and Canada.
Connected Places
Case Study
Welsh and Japanese firms target cross-market expansion thanks to Innovation Twins
Start-up and scale-up technology companies will share solutions through the Green Digital Bridge accelerator programme.
Compound Semiconductor Applications
Case Study
CSA Catapult signs MoU with Canadian innovation partners to boost bilateral collaboration
Energy Systems
Case Study
What does the future hold for UK jobs in the energy sector?
The transition to Net Zero means there is a need to train over 1 million people in the coming 20-30 years. Similarly, urgent action is required to encourage a more diverse pool of entrants into the heating workforce, where women account for only 2% and those with ethnic minority backgrounds make up 5%.
Offshore Renewable Energy
Case Study
How are offshore renewables driving local skills?
The Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult has adopted a community engagement strategy that focuses resources and expertise in support of STEM education in local communities, delivering impactful social benefit.
Satellite Applications
Case Study
Where do space and skills collide?
Satellite Applications Catapult’s ambition is to grow the space sector across the whole of the UK and work alongside the UK Space Agency to understand and close related skills gaps. The Catapult also works with the sector to ensure employers can attract, develop, and retain a skilled workforce.
High Value Manufacturing
Case Study
How can the UK utilise its best industrial manufacturing talent?
High Value Manufacturing Catapult’s vision for UK manufacturing takes into account the lack of available skilled workforce, from research through to industrial exploitation. The Catapult aims to boost the UK’s industrial transformation talent pool by removing barriers to opportunities for upskilling and reskilling in priority areas including digitalisation, electrification, advanced materials and net zero.
Cell and Gene Therapy
Case Study
How can the UK drive cell and gene therapy skills?
The Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult is placing the UK at the centre of a global cell and gene therapy industry. It is committed to the advancement of cell and gene therapies and has a vision for a thriving industry delivering life-changing advanced therapies to the world.
Compound Semiconductor Applications
Case Study
We’re facing a global compound semiconductor skills shortage: what now?
The vision of Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult is for the UK to become a global leader in developing and commercialising new applications for compound semiconductors. The Catapult is working with partners to identify skills gaps and future shortages, and to deliver solutions that build a specialised workforce, putting the UK at the forefront of a global compound semiconductor market.
Connected Places
Case Study
How do we address skills needs in transport innovation?
The Connected Places Catapult is the UK’s innovation accelerator for cities, transport, and place leadership, working alongside key partners to accelerate innovation in the places where we live, work and travel. By assessing, predicting, mapping and delivering much-needed skills for the future, the Catapult is helping to overcome emerging gaps which threaten to impact success in this area of national importance.
Medicines Discovery
Case Study
Bolstering the North West’s position as a life science powerhouse
Medicines Discovery Catapult is driving regional growth in the North West of England, supporting the region’s fast-growing and increasingly significant life science industry.
Cell and Gene Therapy
Case Study
Establishing Stevenage as a global leader for cell and gene therapies
UK Government invested £72m in the Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult centre in Stevenage. This has led to the creation of one of the leading cell and gene therapy clusters globally and brought £1.5bn to the region through the 45 companies that are now investing there.
Compound Semiconductor Applications
Case Study
Identifying new opportunities to increase international trade in telecoms
In 2020 Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult identified sizeable markets for the UK compound semiconductor industry to address, from the immediate opportunity rapid rollout of 5G and the longer term opportunities in quantum and satellite communications.
