Accomplishing this means tackling the geographical inequalities that have become pronounced in the UK since the industrial revolution, and the Catapult Network is playing its part.

In every region of the UK Catapults are spurring positive change, bringing new high-value industry to areas left behind by change, creating jobs, supporting investment and developing skills. Through close collaboration with local and global experts we are helping communities, regions and individuals shape a brighter future for themselves, and for the UK.

Take a look at just a few examples of the way the Catapults are playing a critical role in achieving this important ambition.
